CD drives on RAID controller

Usually it is recommended to use the raid connectors for hard drives only. You don't have to set up a raid array if you don't want to. That frees up your IDE connectors for your CR-Roms, CD-RW etc.

Cause I wanted to run my cd-rom/cd-rw drives on separate channels. My mobo has ATA133 support for my hdd, and I i'd like to use it. So is it possible?
 
what about:
controller 1: hd(s)
controller 2: cdrom/cdrw
unless you do cd to cdrw burning on the fly then that would slow down

can you disable the raid function for the raid connectors? (either in the bios or via jumper on motherboard itself?)
 
I had a CDRW on a RAID controller for quite awhile. Only 2 problems came up. 1: I couldn't boot from the CDRW 2: Norton Ghost wouldn't burn to it, ie: DOS programs.

Other then that it worked great.
