Software RAID on USB 2.0 HDDs possible in Windows XP?

I have a 8 bay / 8 HDDs  USB 2.0 enclosure (see http://cgi.ebay.it/8-BAY-USB-2-0-HARD-DRIVE-ENCLOSURE-ALL-MASTER-2-PORTS_W0QQitemZ120056154632QQihZ002QQcategoryZ167QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and a normal Windows XP PC.

Windows XP does not support Dynamic disks on external usb drives therefore doesn't seem to natively support RAID on USB drives.

Is there a workaround or third party software (or cheap hardware) that can do it?
I only found RAID Toolbox (http://www.raidtoolbox.com/products/rtbdatasheet.html) but it only supports firewire, not USB, HDDs...
