Can anyone tell me is it is OK to hook up two G4's to the same external Firewire hard drive at the same time? Theoretically then one would have a Firewire network between the two G4's? I've been itching to try it but thought I should ask to be sure I won't screw something up?
You can hook up two computers via Firewire and do IP over Firewire (http://developer.apple.com/devicedrivers/firewire/ ip_over_firewire.html), but you cannot hook up two computers to the same hard drive at the same time.
I would suppose, though I have not tried this, that it might be possible to run IP over Firewire between the two computers, and have a firewire hard drive hanging off a second FW interface on one of the machines. One would then share that firewire drive, and mount it on the second computer.
