They seem to be saying people should be converting to the CS system, provided it works with the mobo. So which are people using? In a way CS is less error prone. Is there some reliabity or speed advantage to CS? Or is it just a convience for OEMs who don't have to change jumpers?
How the heck does the mobo know which system you are using? Both work on two mobos I tried. BDawg Lifer. Oct 31, 11, 2 0. I just assign the drives with jumpers. It's easy, and that way I'm sure it's set up correctly. Feb 9, 3, 0 76 www. Have no idea.

Nov 7, 1, 3 I have this one particular hd wd does not like to share a ide cable. I am wondering if cable select will fix this. I thought that was for raid setups.
The black goes to master and grey goes to slave that's how the mobo can tell which drive is master and slave. Sep 5, 3, 0 0. I'm pretty sure that motherboards are colorblind. Jan 25, 7, 22 Since I want to be able to remove any drive and move them all around without opening up the enclosure to change jumpers, I only use CS on everything.
Pin 28 may be nonconnected to the connector at the end of the cable or to the connector in the middle of the cable. Another design would have the host interface connector in the middle and the two drives would plug into each end of the cable, with the connector at one of the ends not connected to pin Another problem will be with host interfaces on legacy motherboards and controller cards.
If pin 28 is not grounded on the host interface, drives connected to either connector on the CSEL cable will be seen as slave. It will be common to find that pin 28 is open or high on many older IDE interfaces.

SloMoShun 3 Zinc. When both drives on the channel are set cable select, here's what happens: Master: The device that is attached to the "master connector" sees the CSEL signal as grounded, because its connector has pin 28 attached to the cable, and the host's connector has that signal grounded. Seeing the "zero value" grounded , the device sets itself to operate as master device 0.
Slave: The drive that is attached to the "slave connector" does not see the CSEL signal as grounded, because its connector is not attached to the CSEL signal on the cable. Seeing this "no connection", the device configures itself as a slave device 1. The two key changes were: Drive Position: Unlike the old cables, with the conductor cable, the master connector is at the end of the cable, and the slave is in the middle.
As I explained above, this is a much more sensible arrangement, since a single drive placed at the end of the cable will be a master, and a second drive added in the middle a slave.
This means there's no confusion over what cables support the feature, and no need for strange "Y-cables" and other non-standard solutions. Every hard drive has jumpers on it that you can set. Diagram on the drive itself on a little sticker. Look at the drive and you will see and can verify that it's set to Cable Select. Thank you so much!
If I'd only inspected closer to begin with, I'd have seen where to move the jumper. Post Reply.
