This is more of a hardware question then strictly a FreeBSD one, but
here goes:
I have two IDE controllers on my motherboard. One is cabled to the
two floppy drives, and the other to a CD-ROM drive and to the hard
drive.
I have another drive, and need the space. None of my IDE cables has
more than two connectors on it, and I'm wondering if this is because
of a limitation in IDE itself; is it safe to drive three devices from
a single controller?
If so, I can fix the cables myself (my EE degree is good for
something), but I can't find any specs on whether or not that'll burn
anything out.
Thanks in advance,
crism
