Master slave will work, but two primary masters is best. The idea behind
that is, that a bad ide drive will often lock up the bus. If you use a
single bus master/slave construction it will almost certainly lock up both
drives in case of a failure. Using two masters will give you a bigger change
that the server will keep running in case of a lockup of one of the IDE
busses.
