Subject: [PCBUILD] Please Vote On This IDE Question(Thanks)


It has always troubled me as to how best arrange 4 items on
the Primary and Secondary IDE buses.  We all agree that
the Hard Drive should be the Master on the Primary IDE bus.
But, what about the other 3 things a PC can have (all internal):
a Zip Drive, a CD-ROM, and a CD-R.  Which, in your opinion,
based on your experience, have you found to work the best.
In anticipation of some questions:
  I am running Windows 2000 Pro., 800 Mhz, 256 MByte RAM.
  Just a good generic clone. thanks, in advance of your response.
p.s.  I promise to post the results of your responses.
