I've always done it my way - I've got two identical ATA-66 5400 rpm HD's, for a test I linked them both as master on ide0 and ide1 respectively. On ide0 I added a ATA-66 DVD ROM and on ide2 an old ATAPI ZIP drive running at (I think) PIO 5 (?) (could be 3?). In a **** test, it took almost 50% longer to copy a large file over the ethernet to the disk on ide1 than to the disk on ide0.

The disk that was on ide1 now resides, very happily, on ide3 (benefits of a raid controller ;)
