  Need some advice....
  
  How do I go about getting more IDE devices (eg. HDD, CD ROM drive) connected to a motherboard?
  
  The motherboard I have has only 1 IDE port, and that is already taken up by two devices. Is there are a cable connector I can buy that connects straight from the IDE device to the SATA port? Or is there a card with extra IDE ports I can use?

  Thanks for the reply.
  
  I have a Conroe 1333-D667. I believe there are 2 PCI slots in there. That ought to work then
