More than 4 EDI devices

[uchenik]

Hi,
Could you tell how it is possible to set up more than 4 EDI devices. Each cable is capable to have only 2. Are there any adapters for this?

IDE...

And no, there is a max of 2 devices per channel, and the motherboard has 2 channels. Well some motherboards have 4 channels, but that uses a second controller for the other two. You can buy a PCI card with 2 more channels on it for about $25. That would let you have up to 8 devices.

buy at onvia.com or buy.com and search for promise ultra 100. $40 but it's well worth the money esp for the future when all drives are ata100.
