CDROM and HD on master ide.
I have never done this before, and all parts aren't here yet for the system to try.
I am building a computer for a guy that wants a CDRW, CDROM, and another 4x multi cdrom...it can hold 4 cds and swtich between them...anyways.
Can I put the CDRW, CDROM on ide2 and the HD and 4 cdrom on the primary? Will there be conflicts?
Curious to know cause he wants all of these on his system.

Is this device new? I ask, because in the past these things would slow performance to a halt on most PC's when opening explorer or My Computer, because the device would actually go through each disk before showing all of the drives. I event tried an external SCSI CD changer, and it did the same thing. Test it out, if it works like this, tell the guy that it would not be advised, and let him make the decision to remove it from the list of hardware.

No the device is definetely not new, and there is no way he would ever get rid of it :)
He has moved the thing from PC to PC since he has had it because of the work he does he likes to have mutliple CD's in the drive at once and doesn't like switching them out constantly.
I am going to try and see how it works on the system I am building and I will go from there. I have used it before on his computer and it is slow, but not dreadfully. I guess it will be whatever he can live with.
