Well, yes and no. Again, the problem is that when one computer writes to a
disk, the other one (or other ones) has no knowledge of it, and cannot properly
use that disk until it reaquires the information. This can be done with a
'diskchange' command, but it is by no means automatic.
If you are thinking of using each computer directly, by transferring
information directly between the host adapters, it is possible under the SCSI
specification, but the host adapter has to support being the 'slave'. Most, if
not all, Amiga host adapters do not support this mode.
