Question on Hardware Config

The store rang and said the hard drive has been ordered in. I’ll have to pick it up sometime this week. Anyway, I’m going to have to do a bit of hard drive reshuffling as a result and I’ve got a question about it. I’m shifting this box’s hard drive to my other computer. This means the other box will have 2 hard drives, one 14G and one 6G, a CD-ROM drive, an Orb drive (removable media, slightly slower than a hard drive) and a SCSI CD-RW. My problem is – how am I going to configure the IDE setup for this? All components but the CD-RW are IDE. I would like the 14G to be the primary hard drive, to have IDE performance maximised, and have the chance of a buffer underrun when burning from CD-ROM to CD-RW on-the-fly minimised. What do I stick in as primary master/slave and secondary master/slave? Suggestions here. Thanks!
