That is why you do not replace all of your peripherals with an ATA or 
SATA connection.  Were you to do so, you would have to replace all of 
your devices and as you said, you could only hook up 2 per a bus, 
generally 4 per card (msot cards have 2 busses) or 1  per bus 
generally 4 per card (with SATA)
You supplement your current HD and/or CD connection with ATA or SATA. 
With only those two devices, you put them on seperate busses.  Then 
you get the faster speed of the ATA or SATA bus without the slowing 
problem
Also, even if things did slow down with more devices, it is highly 
unilikely that it would slow down below the speed of scsi.  Most 
computers don't even come with high-speed scsi which is what is 
comparable to ATA.  The SCSI connection within your computer without 
an additional controller card is not anywhere near as fast as an ATA 
or SATA.
good dude :) SCSI is better than IDE. always has
been.  IDE slow and bad. SCSI fast and cool.
Mainly because you can have more devices and
things DON'T slow down like with IDE, as the IDE
bus slows down to the fastest speed of the
slowest device.
