the marketplace tends to absorb previous technology which incorporating
new advances. Thus some backward compatibility. Everyone learns to cope
in their own way...some by absorbing the changes, some by dismissing
them.

Mixing a hard jumpered slave or master device with a device that is set
to use cable select on a C/S cable seems to present issues (but then
again, sometimes it works).
