I have a very stable version (1.15 I think) of FreeBSD running as my internet
router/mailer (uptime in excess of 222 days now) and for that reason am 
getting nervous about hdd crash. There is no tape drive at all connected to 
it.

I do however have an identical HDD (WD CAVIAR 1210) 212 MByte available and a 
TEKRAM DC600C IDE controller.   I am interested in using this controller to 
provide a 'RAID 1' capability for the BSD system. Anyone have any experience 
with them, or know that they will/wont work.   Of course  I had no problems 
with them on a DOS system, their native habitat.

Any/all info much appreciated.
