01. regarding the ribbon cable; is there a preferred way to plug in, between the master hd and slave hd? (there is a connection at the end of cable and one in middle of cable)
02. I read setting jumpers to 'cable' setting, on both hd's, makes access to drives faster?
03. if both hd's jumpered to cable, do i need a special ribbon cable?
fyi; playing with an older pc which came with xp. it has some shut down and start glitches which i hope to solve. A funky tiger direct firefly, 1.3 celeron, increased memory from 128 to two 512 memory cards. trying to increase hd to 60 by adding a 40 along with original 20 hd. basically having fun, teaching myself a bit more technical aspect of pc's, also trying to update bios and all the cheesy on motherboard drivers for audio, video, ethernet, etc. let the games begin!!
