My understanding of IDE configuration is that you must have (assuming four
IDE devices) one jumpered to 'master' and one jumpered to 'slave' on each
chain.
Presumably you can have any number of IDE devices (?all 4) jumpered to
'cable select' (Dell seem to prefer configuring this way) AND in
combination with 'master' and 'slave'. If that is the case it would be
much easier to jumper everything to 'cable select' and not have to bother
to jumper to 'master' and 'slave'.
I'm sure there's a good reason for not doing so?

CS is the new technology. As far as I'm aware, all PCs now work with master
and/or slave drives set to CS.
Some 15 years ago, CS didn't exist. You had to properly set the jumpers to
master or slave.
Without looking it up, I'd say CS means the cable selects master or slave
for you, depending on which port it's plugged into.
