Well, I got a cheapo eMachines and wanted to install the HDD from my old 'puter as a slave.

This is a procedure I can do, EXCEPT:

The eMachines has the CD/DVD drive and the HDD on the flat cable as master and slave, respectively, and only one place on the motherboard in which to plug the flat cable.

So now what?

Is there a card I can install that has another socket?
Perhaps a "splitter" to come off of the existing socket?

Suggestions and advice welcome...
