Is it possible to install more than 4 IDE drives (HDs, CD-ROM, CD-RW,
DVD-ROM, DVD-Rx, etc) in a home computer system (PM, PS, SM, SS)?
If so, how and what is needed?

ablang,
FYI: Several of the Gigabyte Nforce2 boards can accomodate up to a total of 10 devices, including the 2 SATA ports.......
The main reason that I got my Gigabyte GA 7N400 Pro, at any given time I will have 2 optical drives, and anywhere from 3 to 6 Hard drives.
Laterz,
dafanman
