USB connection

Silly question, I suspect! If I remove the HD from any of my out-of-use computers and insert it in my external drive caddy, it appears in the in-use computer drive listing and I can access all its data files. All the external drive caddy is providing is appropriate power supplies and a USB path. Sooooooooo... is it possible to make a USB connection between two computers, one just switched on and the main one active. In other words, can a scondary computer be used as an external drive caddy via USB connection and, if so what cable pin-outs (or what cable type) would be required?
TIA
