Well, if the drive letter goes MIA, then what's ISA going to do? I've never
pulled a drive from a live system to simulate a HDD crash....
Any chance of someone trying this quick on a test system?

Frankly, drive mirroring is ok for the OS / pagefile, but IMHO it's a waste
of time and $$ for the cache.
Unless you're operating a cache device for a submarine (don't laugh; it's
been done), it's throwaway data.

No, it's unrealistic for someone to expect to only get answers from a public
mailing list designed to ask questions....
Anyway... You want to do drive mirroring. Two drives in a RAID 1 will give
you the availability you want for the ISA server. Keep that cheap spare IDE
drive just laying around to be replaced. Or, spend the extra $100 USD for a
hardware IDE RAID controller and skip the nasty Windows RAID that sometimes
gets weird if a dynamic disk just drops out of existence.. (hint: NT had
this issue and would sometimes mark a hard disk drive as a Removable Disk
Drive when the onboard HDD controller would completely fail in a mirror set)
ISA = required uptime
