The typical mother board has two IDE channels with two devices allowed on
each channel, usually referred to as primary and secondary (or sometimes
master and slave). The question is: when attaching only one device to a
channel, is it necessary to attach it to the primary (or master)
connection? Or is it possible to leave that empty and attach one device
(such as a CD-ROM drive) to the secondary (slave) connection only?
