Most server mobos these days have more than just the 2 IDE channels.
I got one the other day which has 6 on it (!)

As a general rule you should never share one channel with more than
one drive. Ie. Your drives should be hda1, hdc1, hde1, etc.

Some time ago I bought some Promise IDE cards (2 channels on each
card, you can have multiple cards in a system), and they served me
well.
