Mark....the only problem I see is that of master/slave if you
use IDE drives (a non-problem w/scsi). The easy way around
that would be to have the second hot swap bay plugged into
the secondary IDE controller so that the Windows drive could
be left set as master when using it in that bay on that
machine.
