Sorry but a lot of conflicting info around.
I would try cable select on both, all that maters is if they work.
My PM MDD uses cable select throughout and I also use cable select
on my Cubes.
Either will work, but be consistent.
Apple implemented the HP/Compaq patent for cable select, but only
part of it ... the part which is executed at power-on. After power-
on, it is behaving as Master/Slave, but as we all know, Master and
Slave are not that at all ... they are peers.
I always set my drives to Master (for the last and first drive) and
Slave (for the next-to-last and second drive, if present).
The optical drive is also on a cable select cable, but it is set by
Apple to Master.
Whenever I install an additional HD in the Zip carrier, it is set to
Slave.
