Your standard computer has two IDE channels, each can support up to two devices for a total of 4 IDE devices.
With additional IDE controllers, it is possible to have 8 12 or even 16 IDE devices on a system, but this is fairly uncommon.
You can only connect as many as the cable has, that is most cables have only two connectors per cable, and most boards have two ports, so usually you can connect

USB connectors are used to connect peripheral devices such as printers, cameras and keyboards to a computer. The USB port is a technology standard developed in the 1990s that makes it possible to plug and play many different devices on the same computer system.
The number of devices you can link to a router will depend on the specific router,typically 4 devices can be connected.
Keyboard and touchpad are input devices, but they have output aspects, such as the CAPS LOCK light indicator on a standard PC keyboard. Typical output devices on a standard computer include the video adapter with the monitor or display, the sound adapter with loudspeakers, the printer. Many other devices are bidirectional in nature (hard disks, memory cards, all types of network or bus connectors) and can thus be counted among the output devices.
127 USB devices are supported by one host controller.
