Check this out, I know this doesn’t have much to do about games, but the people from this forum are cool and I don’t know where else to ask.
I have a DVD-ROM drive as the Sec Master and a CD-RW drive as the Sec Slave on my pc. And this Monday I got my Pioneer DVD-RW A05, I installed it, but I had to disconnect my DVD-ROM drive, so my question is: Is there any way to connect all three drives on one machine? Cause the Primary Master is the hard drive and Primary Slave is also for a hard drive (or am I wrong), so that leaves only the Sec Master and Sec Slave which are only for 2 drives. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

ok so you are out of room on the ide belt and you dont have any more on the mother board right. I think they make a add on idle card that plugs in to you pci slot and from there you can add more idle belts and plug the dvd-r into that hope this helps

I got an IDE belt with up to 5 connections, but the BIOS only recognizes 2, the Sec Master and the Sec Slave.
I've been looking around and I did find some IDE cards that connect to a PCI slot, thanks I didn't even know they made those, I guess I will buy one. Thanks again for your help man.
