The source post for this thread is in reference to the 400 MHz G4 AGP. This is not a new G4, but the original AGP model. I can't find any in the documentation to say whether the primary IDE channel uses cable select, but it does make it clear that the secondary channel can't. (Troubleshooting for the Zip drive involves verifying that the jumper is set to slave.)

I have a highly similar G4 at work that has the 20 GB version of the drive in question, here. It's my recollection that the jumper was set to master at the factory, but it's over a mile away, at the moment...

With the new G4, you do not need to jump new IDE drives as being Master. New drives support automatic configuration based on which IDE edge connector that is connected to it. If you look carefully on the G4s (at least my Sawtooth), you see 2 edge connectors with 2 different color schemes. This differentiate between Master and Slave.
