IDE cable
Hello.
Is there a difference between installing a device on the end connector vs. the center connector of an IDE cable?
IOW, If I have a HDD and a CD-Rom on the same IDE cable/channel, does it matter which connector is connected to each device as long as the master/slave jumpers are correct?
