IDE + SATA on which Cables?

[stingray1200]

I am getting an ASUS P4C800 and I am going to eventually have a CDRW, DVD Drive, ZIP 250 and 120GB HD. The mobo has 2 standard IDE connectors, of course, and 2 SATA. If I'm just using the IDE cables, which drives should I put on which cables? Also, can I use both the IDE and SATA connections if I can find some IDE>SATA Connection Converters?
Thanks,
Matt

I'd put the CD-RW, the DVD drive, and the ZIP drive on the standard IDE cables since they don't make SATA versions of these drives yet. Not sure if you can use them both in conjunction with one another but I imagine that you could...however I know very little about SATA.

You shold put the opticals on one cabel, the cd-rw and dvd on one. The hard drive and the zip can go on the other, just make sure you use an 80 wire so you dont get any bottle necks.
You could use one of the things on SATA if you got one of the converters.

The top 3 things are what you are looking for if you want a converter.
I dont know if it matters what drive you put on sata tho, I would put the hdd on it, but I dont know how well or fast it would boot, since I have never used sata or a converter
