I have a system with one IDE HD, IDE Tape Drive, and a CD. What is the best way to hook theses drives up to get the maximum transfer rate from the HD to the Tape Drive? HD and Tape on seperate channel or the same channel? Will Master or Slave settings effect performance?

IDE Performance

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
