That's fine.  Even if that's all the hot-swap was useful for at
this point, that'd be fine.

Does Adaptec 2400A card provide true harware IDE RAID such that the
host computer (and iop driver) don't know that a drive has failed?
Does the iop driver handle any of the RAID work vis-a-vis disabling a
drive, switching to a hot spare, or rebuilding a replacement?  How do
you configure the 2400A's behavior?  Some sort of post-BIOS config
screen as exists with their SCSI cards?
