I want two Sun 3/50's to have access to one disk via the SCSI bus.  I know
that this would require some changes in the kernel (e. g. change SCSI
address 7 to 6 for one machine) but my question is:

Is it (electrically) possible to connect two Sun 3/50's to the same SCSI
bus or will there be any problems with the onboard bus terminators?  Has
anybody out there tried to do this?

Please e-mail yours answers to one of the addresses given below.  I will
summarize to the net if it is of common interest.

Thank in advance for any help

Michael
