Yes it is... get yourself a controller card which allows you, usually, 4
more ide devices. I'd pick up a dma/66 controller, as it allows you to use
the faster hard drives. One think I've found, I can't seem to make the
drives on the controller card to be the boot drive. Beware of over-loading
your power supply with too many devices. I had to drop back down to 5
devices, which hardly seems worth the controller cost. But get a larger
power supply, and things run much better.
