Actually, I would currently recommend against this. The VIA chipset
(certainly rev 0x40, which is the 686B) is known to have problems
with multiple devices doing bus master DMA simultaneously. 2 drives
on the same channel should be ok, but there have been well-published
reports (not just on NetBSD) of file system corruption with heavier
use of 2 disks on seperate channels.

Your A7V board may or may not show the problem, but I wouldn't
take the risk.
