does soft-raid on ide disks make sense when you have two disks per
channel ?
iirc, ide drives don't disconnect from the bus during seek times -
don't they block the other drive then ?

i'm not at all sure how this works. the ultra-ata bus throughput
would be more than sufficient for two disks, but do they share the
bandwidth sensibly in soft-raid ?
