"CSEL" ??

What exactly does CSEL stand for? I see it as one of the jumper choices (besides Master and Slave) on the back of my new burner and there is hardly any information on it. How do I know when to use this jumper position? Thanks
 
CSEL = Controller Select

The ribbon has two spots on it, near and far. The controller requires devices to be either MASTER or SLAVE. The CSEL allows a device to defer the MASTER selection if another device is either set to MASTER, or is set to the near spot on the ribbon and also uses CSEL.
 


<< I thought it was Cable Select, but that is what it's used for. I've never seen it used, personally. >>


All the manuals I've read referred to it as 'cable select'.
 
Folks, once again a reminder, the controller is in the drive - the Master drive. The Slave drive does not enable its controller and instead has itself controlled by the Master.

Now you can choose M and S by jumper, or set to Cable Select and have M and S decided by the position on the cable. The latter is recommended for the newer 80-wire cables - that way you can't make any configuration mistakes.

regards, Peter
