Yes, it forces you to have to put the master on the end (black) and the slave in the middle (gray) of an IDE conductor which has an open on wire 28. It's suppose to make it easier but I would never use it and choose to manually jumper for three reasons. One, I like the flexibility of reversing the master/slave assignment without having to move the drives or twist the cable into a pretzel. Two, some make of drives (Western Digital require manual jumpering anyway. Three, some 40 wire cables (real old pcs) may not have the 28 wire cut.Does anybody know what jumper setting "cable select" does for a hard drive? When to use it?
When to use it. For me, never.
