Set one as master, the other as slave. Usually, the drive at the
end of the cable is set as master.
No, this is bad information.
John Carmone is correct, you hold the option key down to eject the
other drive. (this also works with the 'eject' key as well as the
eject menu option)
If the drives are recognized at all without setting those jumpers,
the bus is a cable-select one, and the system *already knows* which
is master and which is slave; if the cable select option was NOT
working, the drives wouldn't appear to the computer until the
jumpers were set.

So the jumpers should be set as "cable select" then? on both? Jeff
