apparently kc isn't just famous for jazz, they've got ide hot swap on
linux too.  :)

there's a guy at the kansas city linux users group who got this running.

    http://www.kclug.org/reviews/3ware.shtml

his review describes a raid setup, i'm wondering if he tried using it
as a backup disk where you plug the disk in, do the back up and then
yank the disk out - not using raid.

and i've cc'd mike, so maybe he can let us know?
