I have started the machine with just one drive plugged in (hda) and it
survived at least this.  But I've never done anything more since I didn't want
to unplug a drive while the machine was on.

This link, though, gives some good ideas to use with the raidtools.  I'm going
to give it a try.  Thanks for the link.
