I have two hard drives and one CD-ROM, all IDE that need to be connected
to a single motherboard.  Right now my controller card is working find
with one hd and the CD-ROM, but I can, of course, only connect two IDE
devices to it, so how do I get the third one in there?  I'm guessing
it's possible, because unix has the device files /deb/hdc*.  So, can I:

	a) Connect a second controller card, properly jumpered to be the
secondary IDE device.

	b) Replace my controller card with and EIDE controller card and hook
all three device to it.

TIA
