Jumper external HDD as master or as cable select?

[Rod Speed]

Gosh Rodney, isn't that what I said.

**** ****nert, that steaming turd of a
sentence is completely incomprehensible.

Slave connector, you know, that grey one (not blue, not black)
that specifically has pin 28 (CSEL) disconnected/missing.

No better, top yourself forthwith.

Yup, Rodney, that is what I said.

Lying, again.

Reams of your puerile shit flushed where it belongs.

 

[Rod Speed]

Nonsense.

We'll see...

Maxtor, IBM and Seagate have the same configs but are using different
(and both confusing) wording to explain them (or not as it turns out).

Wrong, as always.

Maxtor, IBM and Seagate's 'Master' = WD's (Dual) Master
and
WD's 'single drive installation' = Maxtor, IBM
and Seagate's 'Master with_slave_present'

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

Most drives JUST have master, slave and cable select jumper positions
if you ignore the other stuff like limiting the drive to 32G etc.

Like I said, same concept, different wording.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

WD's 'single drive installation' means
that it just ignores that a slave is present,

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

which is what Maxtor's "Master_with_slave_present"
and IBM's "Device 0 with Device 1 Present" -
contrary to their wording- mean also.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

Seagate's "Master with non ATA-compatible slave" is the only
one jumper description that more or less adequately hints at
what's going on behind that confusing 'with ..... present' wording.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

You'll have to look in the Maxtor and IBM manuals that it
actually means "Non ATA-compatible slave", "slave device
that does not comply with the ATA specification" or "Slave
drive does not use the Drive Active/Slave Present (DASP– )
signal to indicate its presence".

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

The last description is the biggest clue that the master will ignore
the slave's presence, hence will opererate as if it were a 'Single Drive'.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

Looking forward to your imminent "Its more complex than that"
display of defeat. Or the more gracious "Wrong as always".

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

Cant even manage a viable troll, or anything else at all either.

No wonder you've always been completely unemployable.

Thanks

No, thank *you*.

for that completely superfluous proof
that you've never ever had a ****ing clue.

Cant even manage a viable troll, or anything else at all either.

You'd think? I think it worked rather well. I'm quite pleased.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Irrelevant to what the 'designer' of that system has chosen to do.

Irrelevant to the current discussion which is drive label instructions
and obviously they are about IDE controllers and proper IDE cables.
Not a word about 80-wire cabling of any particular length.

"Keep desperately digging, you'll be out in china any day now, again."

They've already chosen to flout that ATA spec with the
length of the 80 wire cable they have chosen to use.

Not the discussion.

So your original is just plain wrong
Nope.

and it is indeed more complicated than you claimed.

PCMCIA may be ATA but it is not IDE, dopey.
Now read that line again.

Which just happens to be the case with
the external hard drives being discussed.

But is not what an IDE drive label covers.
Keep desperately digging, you'll be out in china any day now, again.

See above.

Just the usual RodBot bullshit, as always.

Even a terminal ****wit pseudokraut should be able to bullshit
its way out of its predicament better than that pathetic effort.

Obviously not. No wonder you're completely unemployable.



And it costs peanuts to do it the more bulletproof way so it
will work regardless of how the drive is jumpered, cretin.



Never once in a full decade. No wonder you're completely unemployable.

You should try that a bit less over the top.
You might actually trick some poor brainless soul in actually believing it.

Irrelevant to the current discussion which is drive label instructions

The drive label instructions are completely irrelevant
with a system that isnt even ATA compliant, ****wit.

and obviously they are about IDE controllers and proper IDE cables.

Pity we already know that that enclosure aint using a 'proper
IDE cable', so that Seagate shit is just that, irrelevant shit.

Not a word about 80-wire cabling of any particular length.

Pathetic, really.

Reams of puerile pathetic pseudokraut
attempts at a troll flushed where it belongs.

Not the discussion.

Lying, as always. We know they have chosen to flout
the ATA standard, so there aint no point in waving
other bits of that standard around, you have no way
of knowing if they have chosen to flout this bit as well.

Nope.

Yep, it is indeed more complicated than the original, ****wit.

PCMCIA may be ATA but it is not IDE, dopey.

Nothing about IDE in the original, ****wit.

That was just another of your pig ignorant steaming turds.

Now read that line again.

Go and **** yourself, again.

And retake Bullshitting 101.

But is not what an IDE drive label covers.

Pathetic, really.

No, thank *you*.

You'd think? I think it worked rather well.

Not a shred of evidence that you are actually
capable of thought, or a viable troll either.

I'm quite pleased. Thanks for your cooperation.

No wonder you've always been completely unemployable.
