As per the IDE specs, the master drive should always be at the end of the cable. The middle is occupied by the slave drive, which is not your case. For a start, I would try fixing that. Also it is recommended not to mix drive types on a single bus. Therefore it would be highly recommended to move the optical drive to the secondary bus. Also do not rely on CS. Ecplicitly jumper them as master and slave.
