I have never had cable select work for me - I find it is highly
dependant on the specific IDE cable, drive, and bios combination. I
_always_ use master / slave jumpers, and don't even bother with cable
select. Even if I have only one drive, cable select has still failed
for me, resulting in no drives being detected.
but maybe that's just me...!
