Yes. The Glenside IDE card has two sites to install an edge connector, making it electrically equivalent to a 3-way "Y" cable.

My new widget won't have such a provision, though, for mechanical reasons. My new widget will be the size of an ordinary Program Pak, with a CF card sticking out the side. It'll also include an EEPROM, making it capable of being a single, plug-and-play cartridge providing a bootable emulated hard drive. The original Glenside IDE doesn't include any sort of ROM, though one can be added via one of the two "Y" cable connector sites.
