If I remember correctly, there can only be two IDE channels operating at any
given time, regardless of whether it's on the MB, a sound card, etc.... You
could install another IDE card, say an ISA, and hook up your other hard drive
to that; BUT, you'd have to disable the other secondary IDE port. If you're
wanting 3 different operating systems, I'd take a look at getting a bigger
hard drive, and partitioning it for the different systems, then using system
commander to switch between them.
