2 HDs (Masters), 2 IDE DVD devices (Slaves).. PLS CLOSE --solved!

[gtboy]

---

I just want to make both my HDs Masters, and the DVD-rom and DVD-Writer slaves.
Yes, I can connect 1 HD and 1 DVD device, but the second group cant reach each other.

Possible solutions:
1- Longer IDE cable
2- Mounting or adapter kit to fit a 3.5" HD in a 5.25" bay
3- Install a USB to IDE cable

any of you guys know where to get the necessary tools for solutions 1 & 2?

Comments pls..

4- use PCI IDE Controller

use mobile trays for HDD. Overcrowded 5.25 bay may sometimes create enormous heat esp when there are HDD there.

@Tamblot: You mean external enclosures connected to the usb?

Mounting or adapter kit to fit a 3.5" HD in a 5.25" bay -> akoa gikan sa old computer nako, compaq pentium1, dugay nato, sold diri sa istorya.net but gibilin nako ang mounting kit.

@abloyboat: I see.. just contact me if ur planning to sell ur mounting kit.. can u pls post some pics so that I can get an idea on what ur kit looks like?

i use HDD trays where you can pull out the HDD anytime without opening the case and the disconnecting the cable. you just pull out the tray.

@Tamblot: You mean a mobile rack.. Yes, I found one at PCX, but it doesnt come in black.
