Now that I've been bitten by the CS and traditional cable settings, I'll
follow this new tradition.
I was surprised that the devices set to master on the CS slave postion
and the drive set to slave but in the CS master position functioned
where the device set to master on the master cable plus the device
jumpered to slave on the CS slave position acted strangely and
unpredictable.
I guess most people take into account that the 80-pin cable works for
UDMA but don't take into account that the cable is also wired for
master/slave using the chip select jumper settings.
Live and learn.
