  More drives in one boxI want to put more drives (HDD, CD, DVD) to work together in a PC box. How is this usually done? I guess I should find a cable (like that one between HDD and CD/DVD) which has three connectors and just put them all together. Are there any other standard solutions?

If you're talking about a PATA motherboard (probably) then yes, you need an IDE cable. Usually a mobo will have 2-4 IDE connectors on the motherboard. Each of those can support 2 devices. The only trick is making sure your master-slave settings are right.
For more exotic solutions, you can find external hard drives and CD/DVD roms for USB and probably firewire. Or you could get a SATA or PATA expansion card to stick into a PCI slot, then run devices off of that. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |
