I have four spaces on the front of my computer to PLACE cd or dvd drives, i currentlly have two drives installed one of each type, with them both connected together at the back and running into one slot on my motherboard with no more SLOTS avaliable, therefore if i wanted to add another drive bringing the total i have to three how would i connect it to my motherboard ?
is there such a thing as an adapter or something which tuens my exsisting cable from my motherboard to both my drives into a 3 ended one, therefore giving me enough connectors, or how would i get round this,
or would i be able to connect the new drive to the slave cable of my harddrives cable ??
any suggestions greatly excepted. thanks Most mainboards have two IDE channels. To each IDE channel you can connect 2 IDE devices.

There are only IDE cables available that have one or two connectors.

If your computer has only one IDE channel (Which I would find strange) you may need to make use of either SCSI or SATA.   Quote
