You are asking what kind of testing was suggested?

Yes, it is. The EIDE channel brakes down the HDD only very little, 
the CDRW should run fullspeed.
IIRC, the IDE is bridged via ISA to PCI. 
All in all the IDE channel is too slow
for the drives connected to the EIDE. 
The old HDD and the old CDROM are ok.

I do not remember exact transfer rates, but the difference was quite
enough to go 
with the risky constellation having both HDD and CDRW together at the
same cable.
