Think it's part of the PC97/98 spec, and the idea is that CSEL will automagically configure drives as Master and Slave according to their position on the IDE cable. CSEL requires an IDE cable which has pin 28 connected to ground, and not to one of the drive connectors; the drive becomes configured as a slave otherwise. If you use a non-CSEL cable, and have both drives jumpered as CSEL, they show up as Master. If pin 28 isn't connected to the ground on the motherboard IDE connector, the drives show up as slaves. I've had lots of fun with this one, trying to add drives to Compaqs... ;-) -- Juha Take off every sig!
