Old versions of NT4 and 2000 supported SCSI disks in the cluster. We had one for a "high availability" file server from Compaq and always regretted it - I'm pretty sure a single box would have been more reliable. There was a cross-over LAN cable between the boxes and there were SCSI heartbeats (using persistent reservations IIRC) over the SCSI bus, but we would almost always have an issue with the SCSI drives deadlocking and the cluster failing BOTH nodes due to a fight over disk ownership. We replaced it with a netapp NAS eventually.
