I'd recommend splitting the other way. (One hard disk per controller,
one CD/DVD device per controller.) It'll probably make the overall
performance of the system better, and you'll have slightly better
than an ice cube's chance in Hell of getting DAO copying between
the DVD (it reads, CDs, no?) and the CD-RW to work.
