It used to be best practice to mirror (RAID1) off seperate controllers to
maximise redundancy, good hardware RAID controllers follow this philosophy
with multiple SCSI busses. Obviously the card itself still remains a single
point of failure.
To benefit from this advantage of software RAID, is putting one mirrored
disk on ide0 (or ide1) at ATA33, with the other on ide2 off the HPT366, a
good possibility?

Surely Linux software RAID has been done, and it would be better not to
confuse things with multiple implementations, that fake hardware RAID with
AMI, HPT370 and Promise IDE RAID controllers.
