Yep, they will work that way, but not all IDE devices are
compatible.  Some manufactures drives don't work well with
others.  Try shuffling some of your drives around, one of
them might work with the CDROM.
Also, if you run a good drive with a CD the drive may be
forced to run in a slower PIO mode.  Last time I checked
both drives on an IDE port have to be running in the same
PIO mode.
