Chris Grant :
The main reason you want to place a CD-RW on a separate IDE channel than a
hard drive or another CD-ROM drive is that when you're burning a disk, you
don't want to have to pause talking to the burner to grab more data.

For exactly the same reason, I always thought it was better to put your
CD-ROM and CD-RW on one channel, and your hard drive on the other. Copying
from CD-ROM to CD-RW is rare, in comparison to CD-to-HD or HD-to-CD
operations. In this configuration, chances are you'll always be copying
from/to devices on different channels.
