Thanks for the input on spanning drives, etc. guys.
Now I've concluded that an ide cable plugged into a motherboard won't support three harddrives - even if I found a cable with 4 connectors. I guess I'd need to get another controller card right?
Given that I don't what to go that route, I could drop the small (40 GB) Harddrive and use the two big harddrives only - That would require that I transfer the OS and programs from the small drive to one of the big drives I'd be recording on.
I've heard that it's best to keep these seperate - how big of a deal is it?
512 MB in a really of 1 Ghs computer - playback mainly through an MVP. Thanks!
Maybe I should just get another controller, I hadn't wanted to spend the money on such an old computer, but it looks like another way will be such a pain...
