Yeah, we would have two hosts connecting to the same IDE drives.
I know this is possible with SCSI. Maybe not the same way with IDE,
but maybe it is possible if only one host controller is powered up.

You would either power the player IDE controller through the
usual power connectors, or the USB IDE controller through
the USB bus.

It would be of no use if we would have to open the player,
and switching mechanically isn't very nice either if possible
at all.
