Can IDE cable's end connector be left idle ( w-o affecting data transfer ) ?

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. Arno |
