->         Are you not going against the grain of the wider opinions here ?
->         I got back into the box here to change all this to the HDs on
->         one IDE and the CDs on tother because all were suggesting that
->         it was the way to have it when before I had it the way you now
->         suggest.   Strange !

 Wel lit depends on what you are dojng. IF you do much Copying form a CD
ROM to a CDE-RW it is Best to have the two CD's on Seperate IDE cables.

         
->         But I do not doubt that the Slave HD might be pulling all down
->         at ATA 33 vs ATA 100 on the Master.

 I think that slow down only happened with the Older Hard Drives. I
thought I heard that problem was solved and the two hard drives can
operate at different speeds with little to no slow down for the Faster
device.
