A bit off-topic, but I use Abit and Abit has -MAX line of
motherboards...

How many serial harddisk can you connect per IDE channel? Regular 40/80
pin ribbon cable can accommodate 2 disks per cable (or 2 disks per IDE
channel). But, serial connector is point-to-point. I assume each
serial connector is dedicated to one IDE channel, so that you can have
only 1 disk per cable (or 1 disk per IDE channel). Am I right?

you are correct that one SATA channel is limited to one device. The IC7-G,
with the Intel ICH5R SATA 1 & 2 and the SI SATA 3 & 4 would be able to hold
a total of 4 drives, one one each on those 4 channels. it also has two PATA
channels that are capable of 2 devices on each of the PATA channels for
another 4 devices, a grand total of 8 devices.

None, you can't use SATA on IDE ;)
But it is 1 SATA drive per channel.

Are you saying SATA is some kind of SCSI?

An SATA-interface doesn't have any IDE-channels.

SATA is not a kind of SCSI, nor a kind of IDE.
It's a new standard for connecting drives to a PC.

You *might* be able to connect 1 (one) SATA-drive to an IDE-interface,
using an _adapter_, but no guarantees here..

Hmm, okey. I was under the impression that it's basically same old IDE,
except for 1Gigbit parallel-to-serial conversion (and reverse) between
motherboard and harddisk. Gotta read more... :-)

I don't know of any SATAdrive>IDE controller adaptor but there are IDE drive
