You are correct, you can only connect two devices per cable. He
probably saw a scsi cable.

Based on those two exceptions, as they are by no means "standard" equipment

I'm still pretty sure you can't have more than 2 IDE drives to the
same cable. So even if it was an LS120 or Zip drive, 3 isn't quite
possible.

FWIW there are 2 versions of 100MB Zip drive. The original one used
nonstandard design and required special driver to make it work and the
newer version used standard IDE protocol and can work.
