Such a configuration will work with AHDI, no problem. The trouble begins
when you try to connect a second drive to a SH204's or a Megafile's controller.

Unfortunately, we have no US/UK version of the book because we cannot
find someone to translate it. We also haven't got a US/UK distributor
(who in the world would distribute a German book in the US?); so the
only way to get the software (which is part of the book) is to order
a copy directly from me. 'Nuff advertising now 8-)
