For example, on my Sony 8/4/32, I was not able to write at full 8x speed until I moved the unit from the secondary IDE controller to the primary. On the newer controllers (those that support ATA-66) it probably won't make any difference, but if your machine is more than 2 years old it would be prudent to use the following configuration: IDE-1 Hard Drive (Master) IDE-1 CD-RW (Slave) IDE-2 CD-ROM (Master) IDE-2 ZIP, DVD or other device (Slave) Hope this helps, A_C PS: Use master/slave jumpers, not cable-select - its more straight forward will save you headaches down the road.
