Question re hard drive jumper settings for cable select on quicksilver single processor 867 MHz
Dear List, hi. sorry but I’ve really found this difficult to find info on the net. My quicksilver has what looks like cable select cables for both the hard drive bus and the dvd-r / zip bus, (blue connector for m/ board, grey for slave, black for primary drive) so when using a new hard drive should I 1. set the jumper settings (Seagate hard drives) to master ie ( |: : : : ) and slave ( : : : : ) Or, 2. set the jumpers to ‘cable select’ ( : |: : : ) on both? Sorry but a lot of conflicting info around.

Sorry but a lot of conflicting info around. I would try cable select on both, all that maters is if they work. My PM MDD uses cable select throughout and I also use cable select on my Cubes. Either will work, but be consistent. Apple implemented the HP/Compaq patent for cable select, but only part of it ... the part which is executed at power-on. After power- on, it is behaving as Master/Slave, but as we all know, Master and Slave are not that at all ... they are peers. I always set my drives to Master (for the last and first drive) and Slave (for the next-to-last and second drive, if present). The optical drive is also on a cable select cable, but it is set by Apple to Master. Whenever I install an additional HD in the Zip carrier, it is set to Slave. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
