RAID - can a mirrored disk be used on a non-RAID controller?

[Dan Langille]

I had a hard disk failure this weekend.  I had been considering RAID 
mirroring but this has brought the issue forward.

My plan is to create a box with two drives and use a RAID card to 
mirror them.  Should the RAID card die, can I move a drive to another 
box with a standard IDE controller and run the system from there?  In 
short, I'm asking, does the RAID controller create a drive image 
which cannot be used by an IDE controller?
