Third DVD CD Burner

I built my own computer , it has an Asus p4c 800-e deluxe mobo. I have one sata hard drive, one dvd drive attached as master to the end of the cable and a cd burner as slave to the other plug on the same cable. This cable with these two drives are attached to the primary ide. I want to attach a third drive, dvd burner on its own cable to the secondary ide.
My question is, how do I set the jumpers for these three drives?
Or is this even possible?
Thanks anyone ....... Dan

set the jumpers such that, for any given IDE cable,
1. If you use "CS" or "Cable select" for one of the drives, use CS for all of them
2. If you dont use "CS" then make sure that make sure that each drive on the IDE cable has the opposite jumper setting (i.e., if one is MASTER then make the other one SLAVE)
