I have an old P2 machine running NAS Lite with 3 IDE HD’s and one IDE CD and all are using on board IDE ports from the MB. Other than removing the CD and replacing it with another IDE HD and booting from a floppy instead, is there any other way to get 4 HD’s to work? Doesn’t look like you can use add-on IDE controller cards. This machine is too old to boot from USB and I don’t like the idea of booting from the floppy.
