Cable Select
Use this setting whenever the Zip ATAPI drive is installed on a computer that
features “Cable Select.” Note that this setting should be used whether the Zip
ATAPI drive will be the only drive connected to the Cable Select IDE cable or
one of two drives connected to the cable. On Cable Select systems, the drive
closest to the IDE controller is automatically the master drive.

NOTE:
If you do not have information from the computer
manufacturer stating whether or not the system uses Cable Select,
check the IDE interface cable. On a Cable Select system, there is an
open connection on one of the wires between the first and second
drive connectors. If there are no breaks or holes in the interface
cable, it is probably not a Cable Select system.
