I could use a PATA hard disk, but the motherboard only has one PATA

In a desktop, one PATA channel would be able to take two connections

the same not true of laptops?
Yes it's true. But I've always found that having an optical drive on
the same PATA cable as a hard disk slows everything down.
I'll give it a try though.
