What happens when two drives are connected to the same data cable connected to an IDE channel. How does BIOS know which drive controls the channel's?
There are jumpers on the drives that differentiate the master from the slave. If the jumpers aren't set correctly, the BIOS will not recognize them. In addition, some IDE ribbon cables are also labled Drive 0 (or Master) and Drive 1 (or Slave). If the jumpers are set correct, but the drives are plugged into the ribbon cable incorrectly, the computer will not recognize the drives.

Sata drives can a optical drive be master when its a ide?
An IDE Drive is not the same as a SATA drive, for starters. If you want your optical drive to be the master on an IDE channel you can jumper it to make it such. The second drive on the IDE channel must then be jumpered as a slave. If the optical drive is the only drive on the channel then it ought to be jumpered as the master. Alternatively, you may be able to set both drives to "Cable Select" and let the cable position determine the priority. This presumes that your ribbon cable is of a newer design and supports this option.
