Ok, with Highpoint 45X ATARAID this is simple.

we have 11 blocks, so for example for a 4GB disk image:

dd if=/dev/null of=hda.dsk seek=8388608
dd if=/dev/null of=hdb.dsk seek=8388608

8388608-11=8388597 , so:

dd if=hpa.dat of=hda.dsk conv=notrunc seek=8388597
dd if=hpa.dat of=hdb.dsk conv=notrunc seek=8388597


(sorry for an eventual duplicate mail, but it seems that my previous mail was
dropped due to .dat attachment)
