Connecting Lots of Hardware

[afawzy316]

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.

There are PCI adapters that will help you out.

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.
