At the moment it is one device to each SATA port. I have never seen multiple devices supported or multi device cables.

If you mean IDE on the motherboard to SATA device converters they are available - we sell them. I must try one out with a Qubide to see if it works. I do not think there is any software in the packet so I see no reason why not. I doubt if it would have any real advantage apart from the faster spin speed though..
I assume, Nasta, it is in no way compatible with qubide.
Yesterday while in Maplin I saw a Serial-ATA to Ultra-ATA converter for few pounds, I do not know if that would work.
