In fact cable select is the only reason for this. There is no other
one. If you jumper the devices to slave/master you can have them in
arbitrary order, number and position on these cables.


On more that one occasion, because of the layout of the motherboard
and the design of the computer case, I have connected drives using the
middle connector for the motherboard with a drive at each end. 40
wire cables with master/slave jumpers set appropriately, of course.
But zero problems with using the drives.


Interesting.
