You cannot. Only 2 drives per IDE controller.

wrote: you're wrong. Are you sure? Unless your son uses SCSI setup and has SCSI disk drive (is there such thing as internal SCSI floppy drive??), there is no way a floppy drive and hard drive can be on the same cable. Take another look, maybe it only appeared to be one cable is in fact 2 cables positioned close together so to fool some nOObs like you. Better yet, prove you're right by taking picture oif his computer and posting it so we could look for ourselves. -- To reply, replace digi.mon with tds.net |

Not possible considering the floppy uses a smaller cable and connector
than the other two drives. -- Steve Williams "tele64" wrote in message . .. HH, I don't get it....my nephew has 3 drives connected; 2 CDRW drives and one floppy.....all with one ribbon cable!

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. Tom "tele64" wrote in message . ..
