Try the DMA/SCSI bus - you could connect 8 SCSI controllers and 8 STs off each
SCSI controller, with access at 1megabyte/sec, async. Or fewer ST controllers,
and a mix of disk and tape drives. Sorry I can't say how to do it in TOS, but
I've got designs down for Minix. (Change the Minix DMA driver to field some
other interrupts, allow direct memory access between machines - not just sharing
hard drives, but also sharing actual process memory space. It's really pretty
cute...)
