Just google on "cable select" (with the quotes) and you'll find that a Cable Select cable has pin 28 connected to a ground wire at one device connector (master) and not connected at the other (slave); normally this is done by punching out a little bit of wire 28 (on a 40 wire cable) just past the middle connector, so you'll see a little hole in the cable. You'd also find that, as normally a single device should be at the end of the cable (slave) and a single device should be master, so using a Cable Select cable with only one device is, umm, problematical. If one must use a Cable Select cable for only one device and it doesn't seem to work quite right at either position, I suppose one could just cut the cable after the middle connector, which would make it the end connector. Cables are cheap. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
