I was under the impression that your couldn't mirror IDE drives that are on
the same channel anyway.  I'm no expert, but I think Supervising the Network
II says you can't do it because of the way the IDE channel works.  OK thats
not verbatim but it wasn't much more technical than that :)

Not really a constructive comment, but just adding my 2cents as well.
