My Seagate PATA 750GB drive (an Ultra ATA drive) has dropped out from time to time off my mobo IDE channel, and it has brought up the question of should I be using CS Mode or change it to Master / Slave (Master, since I only have one drive). I have a similar setup in my Digital Audio Dual 533, but it hasn't dropped out yet ...
I get conflicting reports - One reference about specific requirements of Cable Select Mode in MDD and QS 2002ED Apple computers is: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27008 A seemingly conflicting Apple document, says it doesn't support Ultra ATA drives in CS mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1815 According to this, I need to set it to something other than CS ... say Master since it is a single drive. Continuing to investigate before I change it ... could explain why it dropped out, having it set to CS? Probably to do with the Ultra ATA versus earlier ATA style drives? So what does that slit in the mobo IDE Apple supplied cable mean? Do I need to have my Ultra ATA drive jumpers set to Master (or Single)? in both my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz and my DA Dual 533?
