DVD RW and CD RW dives - which should be master?

DVD RW and CD RW dives - which should be master?: Posted by Ian Roberts on July 16th, 2003; Hi

I'm a DVD burning newbie. Just got my first DVD burner today! Pioneer
A06 8^)

I'll fit it later today. Just wondered...

I already have a Plextor 161040A CDRW as Master on IDE2 and was
planning to connect the A06 to IDE2. Is there any preference as to
which should be master?

I have 2 HDD's on IDE1. (WD1200JB)

Would it be even better to get second IDE controller so that they can
all be used as single Master on each channel?

Thanks for any info.

the
ao6 as master. Assuming of course that the plex is dma 33 and the ao6 is
dma66.
In my case I use raid motherboards, JBOD for standalone masters for my two
hard drives, with a dvd-rom as standalone master on ide1 and Pioneer
105/master and teac 40x burner/slave on ide2. Having all three atapi drives
do what they do best.
Copying on the fly works best when the two drives don't share ide cable.
