[lug] IDE cable Q

[D. Stimits]

On an IDE cable, a "modern" UDMA 133 spec cable, it appears that the 
cable itself has master and slave marked on the cable...this must be 
what "cable select" setting is for :)

If I set a drive to master or slave, rather than cable select, and then 
use it on the above cable, will it fail to place a master jumpered drive 
on the slave position of the cable (and vice versa)?
