I think that you'll find that you are out of luck. I have never heard of more than two ide devices on one ide controller, cd-rom or hard disk drive. You may be able to put in another ide controller card but I've never tried it and don't know anyone who has. I've often wondered if you can put a hard drive on the ide port on some sound cards as well but never got around to trying it. Andrew Perry > > I have two IDE controllers on my motherboard.
