Short answer: Four
A much more precise answer: The IDE standard allows for two devices to share a single IDE channel. The most common configuration is for there to be two IDE channels on the motherboard, allowing for a total of four devices. It is possible however, to add more IDE channels, usually in the form of PCI add-on IDE controller cards and have literally dozens of IDE devices in a single computer system.

With an IDE, you have everything you need in one place. It will even highlight the program line where an error occurs. Without an IDE, you need separate tools to edit, compile, and run your program - and if the compiler gives you an error message, you have to take note of the line number, and go to the corresponding line yourself.
the best free ide is Notepad++
IDE involves the interaction of the computer with hard drives and CD-ROMS. Atapi specifies the IDE tape drives and CD-ROMS.
C++ compilers are many and varied. There is no single "latest compiler" because every IDE implements their own version according to the current C++ standard. However some (Microsoft in particular) do not fully adhere to the C++ standard. The "latest compiler" for your IDE is either provided as an interim update to the IDE, or by upgrading the IDE to the latest version.

A typical modern motherboard has 1 IDE channel, which can support 2 devices. IDE has been replaced by Serial ATA (SATA), so modern boards have 2 to 8 SATA ports. Older motherboards may have 2 to 6 IDE channels, which could support 4-12 IDE devices.
2. All IDE conenctors allow for two devices to be connected to it, it cannot handle more than that

Both devices are jumpered as master Both Devices are jumpered as Slave
up to two
Four 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.
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
The system will be able to support 4 EDIE devices, 2 devices per cable.

IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) is a standardized interface for data storage devices in computer systems. It is so named because much of the logic circuitry is integrated into the device itself. IDE is most commonly used for hard drives and CD or DVD drives, but has also been used for tape drives and zip drives. An IDE controller is the primary interface (usually integrated into the motherboard) which any IDE devices will be plugged into. It handles the flow of data to and from these devices. It usually consists of two connections (known as IDE channels) both of which can handle up to 2 devices each. It is also possible to add more IDE controllers in the form of PCI or PCI-E cards, these are usually referred to as IDE controller cards. This is often done to enable more storage devices to be installed into the system, but may also be done to replace an obsolete or malfuntioning on-board IDE controller.
IDE (also known as PATA and ATA) provides for up to four devices, including the hard drive. The serial ATA standard allows for more than four drives installed in a system.
