does anyone know a way to have 3 ide drives running at once?
is it possible to place one in the slave section of the cable running from my dvd burner?
any ideas would be great.
 
If you have 2 IDE ports on your mobo then its possible as each IDE channel can support 2 devices. You just need to master slave them.
 
although , running a hdd and optical drivw on the same channel could cause probleums but you can buy pci ide controllers or pci sata controllers to add more hard drives

Slow's down CD / DVD ripping a bit and thats all.
