Most the ATA drives I've looked at have jumpers for slave, master (the default) and cable select. The cable select postition makes life easier for the PC techs at large sites, 'cause they can just take a replacement drive of the shelf and stuff it in without worrying about straps. Sounds like you may have a cable set for CS, in which case your drives should be set that way too. -crl -- Chad R.
