Google "multi-initiator scsi" and rock on. :)
Hehe. Did that and the first two hits say "not recommended" and "not
supported" in the text that google is showing me there...
Another thought, though, is that might make for some interesting
possibilities with that Bigboard II, which has that SASI port that seems (as
far as I can tell from just looking at signal names) to be fairly compatible
with SCSI, maybe hooking _that_ into a SCSI bus might have some serious
uses. Sure beats trying to transfer any nontrivial amount of data over a
serial link, and has the potential for going one heck of a lot faster!
So many things to look at, and never enough time...

Both USB and SCSI have the device-to-device capability
written into
some specs, but it's rarely implemented. ("USB on the go").
Which reminds me of a comment I saw somewhere about the possibility of
having a SCSI bus with more than one host adapter on it. Is that even
possible?
