Anne, as a system builder (9 Years) and GID, I'd just like to mention 
that our drives have ALWAYS been jumpered 'master' and 'slave'. Any time 
we encounter problems it is because we try to use CS, or incorrect hard 
drive positions on the cable.

I'm not saying that what the other poster was saying wasn't true, but it 
is contrary to ANY experience I've ever had.

iow: I agree with your initial assumption. I do not believe CS to be a 
great option. The few times we've gotten it to work, it seemed to take 
much longer to decide anything in POST stage.

Mind you, I certainly should mention that for the last 14 month or so, 
this has been a moot point as systems here are built using SATA now.

Regards,
Ed.
