I went to the local computer chop shop and their box of cables all have 2 ports for drives on them.
That's the only IDE cables you'll find.
Is there an extension for the thing, or a splitter?
IDEFix. But the A4000 manual surely doesn't mention it.
@orange
4?, are you sure, maybe it requires some kind of buffered ide thingy?
Well, at least A1200 can have 4 units with IDEFix hardware + software. And no, it doesn't need to be buffered (I used selfmade IDEFix HW for years, no problems). Default config can't have more than 2 devices, that's for sure. :-)
@Will-i-am
my A4000T manual says it can support up to 7 devices internally.
That's SCSI.
I don't see why you couldn't have more than one slave, but I haven't seen it done.
Because IDE only does 2 drives per channel.
