One more question about Promise Ultra ATA controllers

[Coolie]

I was wondering if having my Hard drive, CD-rom, and CD burner on seperate channels would be a better setup for burning cd's (either off of the HD, or on the fly from the cd-rom). Thanks-

here is a config that did not hurt me while i had it...

HDD and CD-ROM on card, different channels. and the burner on the mobo.

I have 2 hard drives, both as masters on a Promise Ultra 66 card, HP 8100 burner as master on IDE channel 1, Kenwood 72X as primary on IDE channel 2.

If burning from hard drive I put the file on my D drive (all o/s and proggies are on C drive. So regardless whether I'm buring from hard drive or cd to cd, I can surf and generally do whatever I want without worrying about coasters.
