I am looking for some configuration advice.
The contestants: WesternDigital 38400 8.4GB IDE UDMA2 Hard Disk, BTC 36X IDE
UDMA2 CD-ROM, and a Iomega Zip IDE Mode0 drive.
What is the best configuration regarding which ports to connect what to, if
any. In the past I simply put the hard disk on the primary IDE and the
CD-ROM on the secondary IDE ports. However, with more devices coming in
IDE flavors, I am wondering if there are any rules of thumb for the best
configurations/performance regarding the devices. I am interested in a
specific answer for this configuration, but I would really like the "why",
if there are any rules of order.
Follow Up Question: I can already see this getting messier. For example:
Hard Disk, CD-ROM, Zip Drive, & IDE TapeBackup. Which is why I am more
interested in the details.
Any web resources?
Thank you for your courtesy,
