Default 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.
