Seems to me that:

 1.) You don't wanna put a CD dee-vice on the primary because it would
     slow your hard drive down (reduced PIO mode).
 2.) With 2 CD dee-vices on the secondary running at the same PIO mode
     it wouldn't necessarily matter whether the burner was master or
     slave.

Hope this helps a bit ...

  Cheers,
