All EIDE devices should be configured for the Cable
Select jumper position, which assigns master and slave sta-
tus to devices by their position on the interface cable.
When two EIDE devices are connected to a single EIDE
interface cable and are configured for the Cable Select
jumper position, the device attached to the last connector
on the interface cable is the master or boot device (drive 0)
and the device attached to the middle connector on the
interface cable is the slave device (drive 1). Refer to the
drive documentation in your upgrade kit for information
on setting devices to the Cable Select jumper position.
NOTE: If you want to install a second EIDE drive that is
a different type from the first drive but you do not have
the specifications for the first drive, do one of the

interface connector labeled "IDE2.")
