I did go on to say it is limiting and restrictive, and stand by that.

I have a Hackintosh at the moment, but it doesn't like some of the hardware I have. For one, it doesn't support IDE/ATAPI optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay) but all my SATA ports are used up with hard drives!
Any ideas of a way around this?
SATA PCI card? Or an SATA splitter which can convert one SATA port into 2.

Their proper name is port multipliers and they work more like a network hub, taking the connection from the SATA motherboard/IO card connection into the multiplier on one side, and then offering up to 5 ports at the other side to connect SATA devices to.
One such example is here

I may have to 'invest' in a couple of those (always handy to have a spare)
