Yeah, made a boo boo bout a floppy cable being IDE but that's anuda q i wanna ask. Even though a floppy cable doesn't connect to the same type of connector on the motherboard as a hard-drive or CDROM drive would, what's the difference coz they all peripheral devices aren't they? and if it's not an IDE cable, what is it then?

Only 2. The third plug goes to your motherboard. And if you only plug in 1 make sure it is the right connector or it wont work. There are no master/slave jumpers like on HDD and optical drives.

Two per cable is the correct answer.

Two drives can be connected to one cable.

thearedicly only one cabel can hold only one drive, but I think you can sometimes wire them in sequence, and have several wired together
