SCSI TT and Falcon

[Joseph D. Place]

Trying to remember: Can my TT share devices connected to the Falcon's SCSI bus? (Scanner, DVD)

Don't want to mess anything up by connecting the two until I remember what I'm doing!

I think you have to specify, either for the TT or the Falcon, another
ID than 7.
By default, the computer is the 7th element in the chain.
So, one of your computers must be ID6 for example, the other ID7 and
ID0 through ID5 for the peripherials.

But I'm not a specialist!!!

This should work as long as you ensure that all of your device drivers
support bus arbitration (initiator identification is not sufficient, you
definitely need bus arbitration) and that both computers have different
SCSI IDs.
You also have to ensure proper termination, which might not be so easy
if the Falcon or TT are switched off.
