Yes you should be able to have 2 sata nad 2 ide. I have seen a few rigs that were setup with 2 raid setups. One ata and one sata,

I'm working on an Intel board right now that allows 3x SATA drives, and 4x PATA drives (old-style ATA)

So yes, you should be able to fill those puppies up.

My motherboard has 4 IDE channels - two standard ones, 2 GigaRAID ones which can can function as RAID 1, RAID 1, RAID 1+2, JBOD or normal IDE drives. Plus it has to SATA ports.

So I've got the capability for 8 hard drives (6 IDE and 2 SATA)
