Last I heard, it's not supported by Linux. But I got that from the
Hardware-HOWTO which is dreadfully out-of-date.
I've got a Win95 box and Linux box here. I have a regular SCSI card in
the Linux box, and the HP/Symbios Logic card in the Win95 box. I used
two SCSI cables to connect the HP 4C scanner to both machines at the
same time. Of course, I had to set the host adapters to different
addresses. It actually worked! Sometimes, I have to reset one computer
to use the scanner after using the scanner from the other computer,
but overall, it's sort of neat. :-)
