media like CD-ROM's are jumpered in exactly the same way, 

and they have the advantage of having their jumpers much 

more universally labeled than their hard disk counterparts.

If you are using two drives on a channel, it is important to 

ensure that they are jumpered correctly. Making both 

drives the master, or both the slave will likely result in a 

very confused system.

 

: It makes no difference which connector on the ATA/

IDE cable is used in a standard ATA/IDE setup, because it is 

the jumpers that control master and slave, not the cable. As 

long as one device is jumpered as master and the other as 

slave, any two ATA/IDE or ATAPI devices should work 

together on a single channel.
