Master/Slave and cooling
Currently, system has: CD-RW on Primary controller as, I believe, Master. No Slave on Primary controller. ZIP on Secondary controller as, I believe, Slave. No Master on Secondary controller. I was thinking of putting both drives on one controller, with CD-RW as Master and ZIP as Slave. Removing 1 cable should help air flow, n'est-ce pas? If so to which controller should they be moved? And, does it matter in which order they are connected to the cable, if both are correcly jumpered? |

If so to which controller should they be moved? Doesnt really matter, but its more usual to use the primary. And, does it matter in which order they are connected to the cable, if both are correcly jumpered? No, not unless you use cable select jumpering in which case the order determines the master and slave. |

Thanx.
I may do it just to reduce the cables. Airflow would have to improve, maybe by not much. |
