        Have you checked the jumpers on each drive and cabled them as suggested ? ?

        Not a perfect image here but it may help:

                   

        NOTE: All drives are different....look for diagrams on the plastic case above the jumper position...

            CD-ROMS are labeled MS, SL, CS, punched  into the metal case above the jumper block.  Not always easy to see, but it's there.

            Here's a pic of a CD drive jumpered as slave. It should help you figure this out.
