IDE interface question

[lurkist]

4-way interface? surely these should be known as 3-way interfaces as the fourth socket connects to the computer.  The question here is how do I add a fourth component?  Is there a splitter cable or something?
Cheers.

See, there you go. "...each capable of handling 2 devices..." therefore a splitter is required, as no IDE device I've seen has a passthrough/daisy chain - eg some printers, SCSI devices etc.
