A long time ago on a free Unix far far away, some folks bantered about
plugging two or more machines together on the same SCSI chain, and
thereby achieving networking of great speed.  And I was wondering if 
FreeBSD had such a thing (I am lacking the experience to code such a
beast myself, though I am a programmer).

I was just drooling at the prospect of NFS and remote X windows running
at SCSI bus speed (presumably on SCSI card 2)

can 2 CPU's amicably share a SCSI device (like a shared drive), or would
NFS be the way to go?

TIA
