Re: Cable select

Thanks Jim. Just as I thought.

IF everything can be set to CS AND work quite happily with each other why

Are there any instances where setting everything to CS does not work?

Thanks.

Factories like CS because they can set all the jumpers the
same, it speeds assembly.

| If using CS make sure you are using the correct 40/80
conductor IDE cables.
