Ah! So, it's not "all ATA drives should use the cable sellect (CS) 
jumper settings", but (as Scott pointed out), _some_ Mac models require 
the cable select setting. Other Macs don't, and some (e.g., original 
G4) don't work at all with cable select (cf. doc no. 31292).

(Cable select is a feature that simplifies configuration of an ATA or 
ATAPI drive. When it's enabled, the device is forced to set its ID as 
either master or slave based upon its position on the ATA/ATAPI cable. 
But, in order to work, the Mac's ATA controller, the cables, and the 
drive must be compatible with cable select.)
