[TriLUG] IDE Drive/Channel Config

[Roy Vestal]

As it's been noted, you can only access one IDE device at a time, but for
overall performance mixing CD or other optical devices, and HDD's will slow
the general performance of the chain down. It slows to the fastest the
slowest device can go, unlike SCSI where each device is independant, save
the device name/id.
