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.

When 2 drives are connected to the same data cable connected to an ide?
This is quite normal. IDE stands for Intergrated Drive Electronics. It basically means that most of the drive controller electronics are on the disk drive itself. You can connect 2 drives to one cable. One will be set as the master drive and the other will be set as the slave. The master drive then controls itself and the slave drive. The setting for slave/master is normally done by small connectors joining a pair of pins together called jumpers.

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.
