Another IDE question. After connecting to the board, does it matter which plug the slave and master attach to on the cable or does it just matter that their not both set to the same one? Is the master supposed to be the furthest one? Also, anybody use SATA yet? I'm assuming there's no jumpers or any way to screw plugging it in, but I just wanted to check.
80-wire IDE cables have specific master and slave plugs. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. I'm not sure what it's dependant on.
I haven't used SATA yet, but I'm assuming it doesn't have master/slave settings 'cause if you hook up 2 hard drives, it's gonna be in RAID...both set as master basically.
