master / slave cd drives

I have an older Win 98SE computer.
I want to install two cd drivers, one will be a cd burner the other
will be the regular cd crive which came with the computer.

WHich is the better configuration as far as master/slave drive is
concerned

cd as master
cd burner as slave

or the reverse

cd as slave
cd burner as master

Ideally, try to put them on separate channels if you plan on using them
as a copy machine. The best may be to have the reader as a slave to the
hard drive, and the writer as a master on the other channel.

A smh posted, also verify that DMA mode is enabled if the drives support
it (the writer should, but a Win98 era reader may not.)
