Handling Mulitiple IDE Drives

[JeffG]

Hi,

I'm running a P266 w/1.6a and have a single IDE drive and a DVD. My burner and zip drive are both external, but I want to bring those inside the case. I don't want to lose my speed off the hard drive, and I am curious how someone cables 5 or more IDE devices, do I need another controller card?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jeff G.

Yes if you have more then 4 IDE devices then you'll need a PCI controller card.
