[G4] HD slave_detection problem

[Garth Fletcher]

Some Mac models use "Cable Select" instead of "Master/Slave"
select.  Possibly also true of 3rd party controller boards.

In Master/Slave you have to jumper one drive as Master and the
other as Slave.

In Cable Select BOTH drives are jumpered for Cable Select...

Could this be the problem?

See for example:

Model: About Cable Select and Adding Third-Party Drives"

versus
