Hello Mark - 

RJT>>> Are these both ATA devices? 

CA>> Please excuse my ignorance but ATA _is_ the same as IDE
CA>> isn't it? If so, yes they are ATA. 

ML> yes... they are the same... 

RJT>>> If so, are they connected to seperate cables? 

CA>> Good point. To be honest I've never checked but I will. :-) 

ML> definitely... ATA can only talk one at a time on the same
ML> bus/cable... this is one main reason why i like SCSI so
ML> much... they should have retained that ability when they
ML> sliced the ATA specs out of the SCSI specs... 

I checked and the hard drive and burner are _not_ on the same
IDE controller.
