Yes, you can run two IDE devices off the A1200's IDE port using one of those cables, one set as master and the other set as slave.  You just won't be able to use a CD-Rom with the same system without getting a SCSI card or a 4-way interface.

No probs.   :-)  With your second question..I don't know.  I haven't used one of the CF2IDE readers, so I really don't know.  Somebody else should though.  If I had to guess, I would say that it should have jumper settings, as it has to conform to IDE, and all IDE devices have Master/Slave jumper settings.  Have a bit of a look on google, there's instructions on how to build the adaptor yourself if you're technologically minded enough, and you should find the particulars on there.  Good luck with it  :-)
