Many thanks to all who responded to my query:
"Please Vote On My IDE Question (thanks)"
I got some 17 responses from this PC Q&A Form
and another 20 or so responses from this PCBUILD
List Server which carried the same question.
Let me just say there are a lot of sharp people out
there. I certainly learned a lot just reading your
responses. Most of the 37 responses voted as follows:
Pri Ch. CD-ROM (Slave) HD (Master)
Sec Ch. Zip (Slave) CD-Burner (Master)
The reason seems obvious *now* . This arrangement
facilitates Streaming Data between the Burner and the
ROM, and for those interested in creating/using bootable
CDs. (As you might expect, Shelly was right again).
Thanks again to all for responding.
