multiple cd and dvd drives?

[charles]

On my Gigabyte motherboard I have an IDE 1 master slot
for the hard drive cable. I have another IDE 2 slot for
dvd/cd drive cable. The cable will only support 2 dvds
or cds. Is there any way to install a total of 2 dvd
drives and 2 cdr drives plus the master hard drive and
slave. All of my drives or IDE internals. Any ideas?
Thanks

Charles, that's why I like to get a Motherboard with a Raid Controller. But
, you can purchase a Promise or Highpoint
UltraDMA PCI Card that will allow for all the devices you are planning to
install. I would beef up the Power Supply though.
A 400W minimum.
