They could be working parallel through a serial connection.

I saw on TechTV some years ago, a PC recycler intercepted a pile of
relatively older servers, and through NICs had fashioned this. I don't
recall the software or OS he was using, but you can hobble this together in
your own workshop! (Don't try this in your kitchen, unless you want to
become/stay a bachelor. ;-) This is FAR from being a "Classic" as
the software was contemporary at the time.
