How many SATA drives per channel?

How many drives can a single SATA channel support, specifically, the channels on my A7N8X? I notice the SATA cables that came with the board have two connections, one for the board and one for a drive so what's up with that?

Before SATA came out, I thought I read somewhere that you can daisy chain as many drives as you wanted like firewire...anyone know if that's true?

RATS as in multiple rodents and used as a synonym for "Dang" in this context.
