You can put the cdrw drive as the master on the secondary channel, and (if you want) put the old cd rom drive as the slave. However unless you want to copy cd's there is really no reason to even keep your old cd rom drive, just use the cdrw as your cd rom drive, most of them are as fast enough in read.
You will need to re-compile your kernel to include scsi emulation. You will remove ide cd rom support from the kernel (no fooling!). You now access the cd rom drives as if they were scsi drives (ie /dev/scd0 ) because the scsi emulation replaces the ide cd rom driver. This is necessary because cdrecord ONLY works with scsi protocol.
