I have a computer that has one hard drive, one dvd drive, and one cd-rw
drive. What should the jumper settings be to allow for optimal on the fly
copying? Here is what I have:

CD-RW on channel 2 as master
HDD and DVD on channel one as master and slave respectively

Does that sound right?

Yep.Sound's good to me :)
Check that all drives are in DMA mode.

Do you have a problem with it right now?
If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Optimal is irrelevant, either it
works or doesn't.

What I mean is, you have three devices and only two channels, so
something has to give, there's a penalty whenever two devices are used
from same channel so the config you have is only optimal when the HDD
isn't heavily used... some people can put both opticals on same
channel and continue using system/HHD heavily WHILE copying a CD, as
the greater issue is usually the source drive's read speed, not which
channel or master/slave position... you try it and if it doesn't work
you switch it. I generally try putting both opticals on same channel
first as it's a lot easier and neater to route IDE cables that way in
"most" systems.
