Re: Adding a third harddive.
There is also a cable select option but I suspect it determines who the master and slave will be. I've never seen an ide cable for a third device as well.Kalium wrote:I don't think there is.

Re: Adding a third harddive.
Cable select just means that master/slave status depends on which plug on the cable you use, the master/slave status is still there.Digitalex wrote:There is also a cable select option but I suspect it determines who the master and slave will be.

Re: Adding a third harddive.
yeah you can if you want there is a system that can hook up +/- 6 harddrives to your PCSporkmaster wrote:I was wondering is there anything more that I need to do to add a third hard drive (make a second slaved) then getting a ribbon that has four plugs rather then three. The model that I am looking at is the same as the other two that I currently have.
