Here is a simple question for you. What make and model is this computer?

Never on any computer I've seen since 1981. Perhaps a very, very,

very,
very special model.

For a standard IDE controller, two is the limit. Now pretty much

every
motherboard has two controllers. so two cables = four devices.

Yes possible....

Not possible considering the floppy uses a smaller cable and

connector
than the other two drives.

You cannot. Only 2 drives per IDE controller.
