- Probably, but it can be done. I have a similar setup sharing devices between
- an Amiga 4000 and a Pentium, but I only have a total of 4 devices. The setup
- is this:
-
- Emplant SCSI (soon to be DKB 4091) in the 4000, ID #7, terminated.
- ZipDrive connected to external port, ID #6, not terminated.
- Adaptec 1510 in the Pentium, connected to other Zip SCSI port.
- ID #6, not terminated.
- Matsushita 4X CD-ROM drive on the internal chain, ID #3, terminated.
-
- Everything works pretty well, except for the fact that the Emplant SCSI
- is really bad. You have to be very careful with the settings, (+5 volts,
- termination, ID numbers, and SCSI parity). There might even be more settings
- that I don't know about.
