A single USB-to-IDE adapter (204) connects two or more IDE devices (208, 210, 212) to a USB apparatus (202). The USB apparatus (202) communicates with each IDE device using a connection identifier associated with the USB connection (206) and a unique identifier associated with each IDE connection (214, 216, 218). The USB-to-IDE adapter (204) may be integrated within the USB apparatus (202) or as a discrete component connected to the USB apparatus (202). |
