I would like to connect 4 386-PCs each having a SCSI controller with
each SCSI controller connected to a SCSI disk drive.  I would also
like to connect the SCSI controllers together on a SCSI bus.  In other
words I would like to set up a Multiple Target/Multiple Initiator SCSI
bus.
I would like to use the AT&T UNIX System V 386 and Adaptec SCSI controllers.
Has anyone tried anything like this?  I believe it is supported by SCSI
specs, but I don't know if there are any practical problems with this?

On this system, all PC's have read permissions on all drives and write
permission on  their own private drive.

I would like to hear from anyone who might have had some experience on
this.  If you know of any other OS/controller combinations that might
support this, please let me know.  Please reply via email to:
