My PC has 2 CD drives, 1 Zip Drive and 1 HD. I want to add another HD, but all the connectors are used. I thought I could find a IDE cable for 3 devices, but nobody seems to carry such a cable. Is it possible to add a 2nd HD in my case? Thanks.
 
You'll need to buy another controllor card to connect it to - IDE connectors only support 2 devices each, so you're maxed out without one.
 
You can buy a pci card that will give you two more IDE slots for up to 4 more Ide devices. Some a called RAID cards. But some devices wont work on them. Super disks do not work on them. TigerFlight [tiger]
Everyone has their two cents worth. Lets all try to donate our two cents and maybe we all can come up with a Dollars worth of advice!!!!!
