Yes. One cable per HDD at that point in the experiment.
I can now get the two HDDs to start up with one cable, but where do I
plug in the CD drive? I put it on the end (Black) connector of a
new (IDE HDD) cable - the CD drive does not boot up, no lights on,
ejects and loads discs, but not recognised.

It's called
IDE Ribbon Cable
ATA/UDMA 100/66MHz
This discussion could all be brought to a timely close if someone
would tell me how to plug in two HDDs and a CD drive, what cables and
where on the mboard.
