That's wrong.  If you have the name of whoever said that, please let
me know so I can send them the correct answer.

You can add one more IDE drive to the system, for a total of two.  All
you need is a cable with the connections, and the jumper settings to
use on the drives.

It is possible that there are some combinations of drives that won't
work together.  Call the tech support 800 number again - if they still
insist two drives don't work, have them call my extension (8789).
