It's got me tossed.  The Abit MOBO Book doesn't cover recommendations for two Hard drives and two CDROM/CDRW drives.  It details two HDDs + one CDROM - Three HDDs - Three HHDs + one CDROM.     In each case the book  recommends two hard drives on IDE-1 with the other hard drive + CDROM on IDE-2.   (" As this method has no effect on Hard Drive speed" )
Even for two HDDs + one CDROM the recommendation is to have the CDROM alone on IDE-2.
It's beginning to look like it doesn't matter ?? (Noticed that the Ricoh 7080A is set to Master from the factory though)
