2 DVD RW on 1 IDE cable problem

I have 2 dvd burners on one IDE cable. I have been having trouble with whatever dvd burner that is set to slave running extremely slow, whether reading or writing. With a benchmark test from CD/DVD Speed the speed is 2.3 with a burst speed of 3mb/s. Ridiculously slow. If I switch drives and jumpers, the drives are fine. I have tried every combinations with an ND-3500, BenQ 1640 and LG 4167B. with the same results. Whichever one is the slave runs like a dog. Any ideas. DMA is on. P4 3.0, 1G ram. w/160 & 320 WD SATA HDs.
