What the hell are you talking about? You Macloser really crack me up...of
course you can hook up two IDE drives at the same time. In fact you can have
two per IDE port and most motherboards come with 2 ports (that's 4 drives
incase you can't multiply).

Or you can stick with SCSI (7 drives daisy chained).
Moron, don't give advise if you don't know what you are talking about.

External SCSI? What are you idiots afraid to unscrew the case? You need a
Mac Consultant to format a HD?? What a fucking loser.
