[QUOTE="compufunk, post: 541376, member: 288741"] I just checked the manual and you are correct, It does say to use cable select, My own DM-600 is happily talking to the HD set as master. As far as I know, cable select is used so that the Master / Slave configurations on an IDE channel are set using cable position rather than jumpers on the drive. The drive on the end of the IDE cable being the Master and the one in the middle being the Slave. With the DM-600 having only one connection point on the IDE cable,It probably doesn't matter whether its set to Cable Select or Master. But, i may be wrong :D Hmmmm, I wonder can it handle 2 drives with a 2 connection cable, will it have the juice to do it? :D Yes, its pretty tight in there, you could easily do damge if you were heavy handed.
