With all due respect, slave/master isn't used if you put said drive on an 80 conductor cable. You use cable select.
I used an external USB 2.0 enclosure for my DVD recorder since I wanted to take it with me on the road.

Hi - I already have a DVD Burner and a CD Burner installed in my PC (running Win XP Pro) and happen to have been given a new CD Player that I thought I might as well add, purely for the sake of having a spare (eg to keep a game CD or a music CD I don't want to regularly keep changing over)
Anyway, what is the best way to do this please? I understand about slave/master jumper settings and IDE cables, but at a quick glance I'm not entirely sure there is space to do it anyway...
