There's also a fourth I/O address that can be used to have up to eight
IDE drives in your system.
170-Primary
370-Secondary
168-Teriary
1E8-Quadinary
Although other addresses can be used as long as you can get the controller
card to work at that particular address. You also have to have a seperate
IRQ
for each of the addresses used.
