Yeah, I'm kinda thinking that if I purchase a replacement drive, I'll get 
one that's either a single drive (instead of two drives spanned) so I can 
pull it out of the enclosure, or get one that has a SATA interface on 
it.  I know one of my machines has SATA on it, and I think actually one I 
just bought used also has it.  Not sure if they have external connectors 
or not, will have to check that out.
