I know that ViPower http://www.vipower.com/ have Hot-Swap IDE drive bays.
Only thing I can see being a problem is that they seem to require their own
software (probably to handle the fact that Windows doesn't like drives
being swapped on it, but I can't confirm that). I would assume this sort of
precludes them running on IDE Raid cards, but of course, YMMV.
If you need any more details, feel free to continue this off-list, as I'd
guess this is getting off-topic real fast.
