Hey Kay, Yes you can. However you are going to need to install an IDE controller card. In the past I have used one from Maxtor with no problems what so ever. With the current cost($12 to $30) there seems no reason to buy one without a built in BIOS(bootable). Promise also makes one that I have used....the Ultra100TX2. -----Original Message----- From: PCBUILD - Personal Computer Hardware discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Kay McCoy Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 12:26 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PCBUILD] five IDE drives? Is there a way to hook up five IDE devices to a PC? The computer already has two hard drives and two CD drives (one a burner). Thanks for any help.
