rounded ide cables can't connect multiple drives?-help
 

it seems that my mobo only has two ide sockets. both of which are being used my my mastesr/slave optical drives(linked with one cable) and my hard drive. I'm thinkin 'bout switchin to rounded ide cables but from what i've seen you can't link master/slave drives with one single cable. This will result in one cable for each of my optical drives, leaving me with no extra ide socket to plug my hard drive into....does anybody out there have any solutions or suggestions to my problem? I would appreciate it.

You can get rounded IDE cables that have 2 connectors for a total of 2 drives per cable

i dont know where you heard that you cna only have one

Yup.

You can get ones with just one drive connector

OR

You can get them with TWO drive connectors
