hey guys i was wondering firewire and usb bridges in most cases will they only support only one ata drive?
i have a nice old scsi case a few nice drives and some bridges from some cases i had the idea to make a usb2 or firewire raid but i think the ata controller on these is striped down for one drive i can fit 2 bridges in this case but would like to know if i can put 2 on one bridge instead figure master slave cable select settings won't allow it but figure i'd ask
thanks!

usb or firewire cases and drives
I've got a number of FW cases/bridges and most only see one drive. Only the more expensive (seems to me) units can see both devices (eg: a year old LaCie HD case.)
You'll just have to test each bridgeboard to tell if two-drive-support exists.
