RAID 5 recovery with a single disk?

[Sid Young]

If it's a raid 5 set, it tolerates a single disk failure only... 2 disks
and you are toast, I have not heard of anyone recovering 2 disks but
happy to stand corrected and learn a new trick.

I've got a 1750 with a PERC 4/Di that suffered two drive failures in
quick succession, and now I have one remaining drive of the original
three.  I know it's a long shot, but do I have any chance at
recovering data from the remaining drive.
