Following the EIDE standard a motherboard can support up to EIDE drives?
4.
What piece of hardware do EIDE cables connect to?
Typically EIDE cables connect to IDE Hard-drives and optical drives such as CD and DVD Drives. The cable connects between the motherboard of the computer and the hard-drive or optical drive. Normally most motherboards have two idea buses. You can have to drives per cable. So a total of 4 drives.
How is a SCSI hard drive similar to an EIDE hard drive?
The purpose of SCSI hard drives are to exchange information between separate computers. Whereas, EIDE hard drives addresses a computers interface between its individual hard drive and its storage disks.
How many drives can be supported in a single PC with EIDE?
4
Where could one purchase a Eide hard drive?
There are many different companies that produce EIDE hard drives. Wherever computer accessories are sold, there should be an area for hard drives that will likely carry EIDE ones. Check out BestBuy or Staples for assistance.
What is the Internal technology that most hard drives use today?
EIDE
What technology standard is used to govern how drives such as CD-ROM drives Zip drives and hard drives can interface with a system?
Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE)
IDE and EIDE hard drives are usually set to be in what configuration by default?
Single drive
Is maximum number of IDE drives that EIDE will support?
EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) typically supports up to four devices on a single controller, with each controller capable of connecting two devices (master and slave). Therefore, the maximum number of IDE drives that EIDE can support is four drives per controller. If multiple controllers are used, the total can increase accordingly, but standard setups usually involve one to two controllers.

Why is there confusion about the EIDE and SCSI drive-interface standards?
Why is there confusion between EIDE and SCSI drive interface standards
What are two common names loosely used to describe IDE?
ATA and EIDE These are the most common terms for the same devices, although they are usually incorrect. According to CompTia's Guide to Hardware, ATA refers to drive interface standards as published by ANSI. IDE refers to the technology used internally by the hard drive. EIDE is used by manufacturers to refer to the parallel ATA (P-ATA) that CD drives, DVD drives, Zip drives, tape drives, and IDE hard drives use to connect to the mothermoard. While IDE is used more commonly abroad, EIDE is a more complete and accurate definition.
