I have a nice big tower case and I feel the need to fill it 😁 But I'm not sure if I actually can...
Right now it has an IDE platter drive, a 3.5" drive and a 5.25" drive. I want to add a CDROM and a CF Adapter drive (CDROM for games and CF to get games onto the thing, but HDD for that "authentic retro feel." I have an IDE interface card that already handles the 2 removeable drives, and when I get the right cable (I only have a 1-drive cable on hand, need to get a primary/secondary cable) should handle both "hard drives." If I am remembering things correctly, I'll need some other card to drive a CDROM if I get one? I think most cards could handle a max of 2 drives on the IDE bus? (I also have some old PATA drives I could cram in there for kicks and To See If I Can.)
I'm starting to feel like this isn't going to work?
