Yes. Convenience was the main reason I preferred using CS back towards the end of the days when I was primarily using PATA drives. Having to muck around with the master/slave jumpers every time I moved a drive was extremely tedious & annoying. Typically I would *always* drop a jumper while trying to change things around. At this point in my life my eyes don't function well enough to make finding a jumper buried in a carpet in bad lighting a minor glitch.
