Mind you, I did not say you will always have problems with jumpering
master/slave on the CS cable.
My experience was a system that had been working fine but suddenly began
getting weird problems, similar to what you have described, Anne.
I spent several weeks trying everything I could think of since I knew
the drive was good. If I had only one drive attached there were no
problems, and if I put it in another machine there were no problems.
Someone suggested moving the jumpering to CS so I did, and miraculously
the problems disappeared.

I have since used CS exclusively on those cables and have never (in more
than 12 years) had a problem with drives. YMMV, but I have always had
good luck using cable select in all that I do on PCs.

Point taken. I'll bear it in mind for the future. For the present, I have
something working, so I'll leave well alone :-)

Thanks to all who helped.

Anne
