I would like to connect two Sata SSDs to one IDE port. The other port I want for optical drives or other stuff.
Currently, I am using a bidirectional adapter, which takes up the IDE port ond provides 1x Sata out. (It has a second SATA connector, but that is labled for use in the other direction)
I am pretty sure it is possible to connect 2 SATA devices to one IDE. I have been looking for such an 1xIDE->2xSata interface, but found none. I have however seen several interfaces that would connect to the IDE cable. I just did not see any information on setting the interfaces to master and slave. I would need that feature.
So if you have managed to connect 2 sata drives to one IDE onboard port, please let me know how you did it.
Thanks in advance.
