    i just got the a05 and want to keep my cdr writer installed now i have

    win98
    2 hard drives
    dvd rom drive
    cd burner

    i have no more ide connection, how can i hook up my dvd burner and keep the other to rom drives installed without buying another motherboard. is there something i can buy to connect all three?

    thanks_X_X_X_X_X_[small]if a cat has 9 lives why did mine die when i threw it out the window[/small]

    your ide cable should have the second plug for the second drive.
    If it doesnt you can get an ide controller card which will plug into a pci slot and enable the running of more ide cables

    You can put a raid card in to controll your hard drives, then put your cd-rom drives onto the ide
