Sadly, it's not possible. Although the SCSI standard allows for two or more controllers on the same bus, in practice, most, if not all controllers don't "let go" of the bus when they're not using it. So another controller can't get control of the bus to use it.

There may be a controller somewhere that does the right thing and lets it go, but I've yet to meet it.

You don't have to have a hub. You can use a reversing cable between two computers (the Ethernet version of a null modem cable). Pretty cheap at most shops.
