Yeah, I'd like the easier off-the-shelf route. There is so much on the

Take a look at:

$99.99, less hard drives. Will take one or two IDE drives, and will

Ah, yes! Thanks. That looks like the ticket. Spec says it can do
mirroring and two drives are certainly enough here. You just have to
protect it very well against surges because they be on the same supply

No problem but that's another piece of equipment to maintain. Batteries etc. It should be no big deal to provide a large enough electrolytic to safely park the HD heads. Then again, I have learned that one cannot always assume sufficient smartness in new product designs these days.
