more specifics, how you have your drives jumpered,
interface technology? ata/sata/scsi/usb/??? cabling?
Do all the drives get detected if you test them one at a time?
Do all the cables work if you test them one at a time?
I've never seen a bios that wouldn't let you have 4 parallel ide drives
if you have two connectors...suppose it's possible, but I ain't never
seen one.

Then I guess you haven't seen too many computers.
One PATA connector will support two drives. Two connectors = four drives.

You must have a drive jumpered wrong
or perhaps you have one channel disabled in the bios
as you can have a total of 4 IDE devices

Maybe, but OP didn't write that the board can't support
more than 2, rather that the bios can't detect more than
2... which might mean something different than only one
physical IDE socket and channel.
