I don't know every board out there, but never heard of a board with only one IDE controller/slot. (not to say they don't exist).
The trend is towards SATA-only. It won't be long before motherboards don't have any IDE slots at all, just like ISA cards eventually disappeared in favour of PCI.
That is an option (ide controller) especially if he wishes to continue using the ide drives, but even if he gives up one, he's still SOL because you can't put three ide devices on one controller.
Depends on what you mean by controller. PCI IDE controllers usually let you have at least four devices, and often more than that. These controller cards have more than one cable, and the IDE limit is two per cable, not two per controller card -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
