Sharing an IEEE 1394 Device Between Machines?

groovemaneuver asks: "A question was posted recently regarding sharing a SCSI disk between multiple machines. Firewire was mentioned as an alternative, but there wasn't much elaboration. Is there anyone out there using an IEEE 1394 solution for shared storage between two or more boxes? I've managed to dig up ads for a bunch of enclosures that feature multiple firewire ports, but nothing to indicate that it was possible to connect any of them to multiple machines. The only thing close that I've found was the SANCube, and aside from being fairly pricey (defeating my purpose for using firewire), it is only officially supported as a Mac/Win device."
