I remember reading that there are issues with having two different
speed devices on the same EIDE channel - that the speed of the
channel is that of the slowest device. In the above case, channel 0
will run at the speed of the CDROM, and hard disk access will only be
that fast. Is this wrong?
Or maybe this only applies when both devices are being accessed at
the same time - then the channel is slow for the hard drive, but when
the CDROM is not being accessed, the hd runs at normal speeds.
If someone knows the right answer, please let me (us) know.
