    PC help

    So i get a internal Zip Drive off ebay (dont ask why, just always wanted one) thinking i have a free IDE slot on my cable to put it on. Turns out i dont. (have both my harddrives on it)

    So....

    What can i do? Is there like a card i can get that has IDE slots on it? or what.

    Much thanks


    EDIT:
    since this is now on the 2nd page, i wont reply. I got the zip drive installed. bought a dvd/cd burner.

    Nearly all modern-day computers have two IDE controllers built-into the computer. You said you had two hard drives on one controller, but if you only have one device on the other controller (CD-ROM, perhaps), then you can use that one. If both controllers have two devices each, then you gotta go with a PCI IDE controller...something like this: Link

    You should be able to get something like this at CompUSA or Best Buy if you need it sooner rather than later.
