Default Does it exist?

Hi, my PC's 2 IDE channels are both in use leaving me unable to
connect anything further to them. So here's my problem, does a 4 way
IDE cable exist as opposed to the regular 3 way?


Nope. The reason being that a standard IDE port can only handle 2 devices.

Basically i'm trying to fit a slave HDD to up the capacity as opposed
to upgrading my existing HDD. Are my attempts futile? Cheers, Bob.


Add-in card. I'd go with a SATA card and SATA drives.
