I recently got a Seagate ST296N 80 Meg hard drive for my BBS that runs off
of an Apple //e with an Apple SCSI card (Rev.C) holding down it's end of the
deal.  I would like to hook up my Franklin to the same hard drive and use
part of the first partition for some of my larger applications like Aztec
C-65 and be able to dable in shell and C while the BBS chugs away on the
//e.  

The Question: Can I simply pick up another Apple SCSI card and drop it into
  the Franklin, crimp another female DB-25 connector on my SCSI cable, and
  hook the Franklin into it?  Will this cause collisions of directory blocks
  on subsequent write operations?   Or is there some sort of "black-box" that
  I can hook up both computers too that will contend for use of the hard drive
  on an operational basis?  

  In simple terms, HOW CAN I HOOK MY OTHER APPLE TO THE SAME SCSI HD?! Help!
