you can have 8 devices when you have a motherboard like the Abit Kt7-raid
as it has two standard ports that are ata66 compitable... and then
another two ports which are on an onboard highpoint controller, and are
ata-100 comp and raid 0 and 1 comp...
so you have the standard two + two extra ports...
thus with 2 devices on each port you get a total of 8 devices...
