IIRC, if your motherboard BIOS only supports two drives, you could use a  
controller card with its own onboard ROM for additional drives to be  
recognized under DOS (or Win9x). Depending on what chipset the card uses,  
there might also be a driver which can enable the second channel.

Not sure if the various DMA DOS drivers would detect and add drives on the  
second channel (in fact, I don't know if they work on ISA/VL IDE  
controllers or if PCI is required)
