Hi, I have a PC with on dvd-rom drive, one CD-RW drive, and one DVD-RW drive, all are IDE. I also have a 160GB Maxtor HDD which is IDE. I have a 200Gb SATA HDD. this means I have 4 IDE devices, and I will have an 80GB Hdd tomorrow (formerly in my Xbox, upgrading it to a 250GB). I can get a good HDD enclosure (IDE to USB 2.0) and I need to know if it would count toward the 4 IDE device limit. I am aware that I can get a PCI-IDE controller, but I cant get one for tomorrow (no wheels). If this one wouldnt count toward the limit I really want to get it. I cant find if it does or doesnt on google, which leads me to believe that it doesnt. If someone could give me a definite answer it would be much appreciated. Thanks
