I have never tried it in this particular setup, but way back in the day when
I had MSX computers, I would hook up two computers to one (expensive!) SCSI
HD, setting both controllers to different IDs. It sorta worked, if you were
careful.

Not necessarily. There were many PowerBook SCSI adapters available that
would convert HDI-30 to DB-25, with or without a docking switch. Unsing such
a beast, you can connect two computers through a regular DB-25 SCSI cable.
