IDE Cables/HD/CDrom Drive
This is handy if you have 2 HD's and 2CD drives.
HD 1 = Primary Master
:- Both on the same IDE Cable
CDrom = Primary Slave

CD Burner = Secondary Master
:- Both on the same IDE Cable
HD 2 = Secondary Slave
This way one shouldn't have a problem when copying from CDrom to CDburner
However I tried this combo and noticed that the HD IDE Cable was 150v and the CDrom IDE Cable was 300v what I don't know is if this will make a difference in overloading the cables.
