I could be wrong thats why I am asking for opinions.
when you have a zip drive (ide) how would you cable it? I have always slaved it to the cdrom on the secondary controller and left the primary for the ATA 66/100 drives.

Our system building manager here cables the zip drives to the HD as a slave.

when I get the systems back for repair I always recable them my way and everything works but I was wondering if it is necessary?

Opinions please
