	Put a controller in each system and physically move the drive to each
system as needed.  given the controller and cables exist on each, it becomes
a simple matter of management.  

	If you a $$$ wise, this may be your least expensive way out.  porting
drives is a better solution IF your machines are in the same Physical area.

	You have many options, but need to specify the order of importance:

		1) price
		2) performance
		3) supportability
		4) DEC/non-DEC requirements/preference


	"Given unlimited time and money, anything can be done."
