This makes me wonder... Since I'm using mdadm, I should be able to use 
any voltage-compatible card, provided that I first plug the card in on a 
PC and configure it for straight-thru non-RAID access to all drives, 
right? I'd never need to change that, so In theory I should be able to 
use it indefinitely thereafter on my ppc box. I have an old 6-port PCI-X 
megaraid card which could fit the bill... Has anyone used a setup like 
this? Any drawbacks, gotchas, or other experiences with such a setup?

Thanks again!
