On a standard Atx Motherboard IDE specifies that no more than 2 devices per bus, so if you have a 2 IDE bus computer you can have 4 devices. Some computers have 4 IDE busses in which case you could have 8 devices (these use a 'Promise IDE raid chipset')

This is just recommended specifications at least, you can always hack and try for more off record lol
