cdrom and cdrw

[Cheryl Homiak]

I'm a little confused even after reading all the docs so I could use some help
here.
I have an ide/atapi cdrom, which I have loaded as scsi because i'm getting ready
to get a cdrw in addition to the cdrom. Here are my questions:
1. Does placement of the cdrw and cdrom matter. The person installing wants to
put them on separate ides as he says this can make the cdrw slightly faster.
this means that one of them has to be hdb and the other has to be hdc or hdd (I
would think hdc). Is it better to put the cdrw as single or primary and let the
cdrom be the slave on my first ide?
2. Does this mean that i set up both the cdrom and the cdrw as scsi? I think I
read that if you compile both scsi and atap/ide into the kernel the atapi/ide
will take over which I don't want for the cdrw for sure.
3. If both are to be scsi, should my cdrw be scd0 and my cdrom scd1 or does this
matter?
4. What symlinks do I do? Right now I have /dev/cdrom linked to scd0, but is
this where the cdrw should be linked? Do I make an additional directory and
mount point so that both can be mounte?
Thanks.
