Can I put three devices on one IDE cable? I would like to have a CD reader, a CD-RW, and a tape drive all on my IDE Secondary Channel. Do I make one device the master and the others slave? Any advice would be appreciated

You can't do that. You'll need an add-on controller card. Are you sure the tape drive is IDE?
