Connecting Lots of Hardware

Does anyone know how i can connect 3 Hard Drives and 2 CD drives to my motherboard. At the moment i only have two of each and the motherboard has two places to connect IDE cables. My case is big enough for four cd drives and four hard drives but i dont know how to do the IDE connection for three hard drives. Is there a special IDE cable with more than three connectors? Is there an adaptor or something to split the slave connector? Please help.
 
You can connect only 2 IDE devices per channel, if your board has 2 ports (channels) then it supports a max of 4 IDE devices. You will need a PCI adapter.
