How does such an item work? Does it have a unique controller chip for the IDE or something? I always thought two optical drives on one IDE cable was a no-no.
Speaking of that, lately, i've gotten big time into CD burning ... as in making several hundred copies for local bands. I just made 300 CD's on monday/tuesday and my friend suggested I attempt charging for it.
I considered it, but my issue is that I need to have more drives running. Here's my current set-up:
My PC with 48X (okay, really runs at 32X) super-cool IDE combo drive (does everything except lightscribe :/)
Family PC with 40X (real output is just under 32X) IDE CD-R/W drive
Server with 12X ( Yuck!) CD-RW drive.
Right now I have at LEAST one more CD-R/W drive (24xish) and maybe another. The problem is, on MY PC, the mobo has one IDE slot, thus I can only have one IDE cable. No matter what the jumper config is, two optical drives on one cable is nothing but trouble.
Suggestions appreciated. Comments welcomed.
