master or slave, or for cable select. In general, leave this jumper at
its factory setting, which is master; and ensure that any other device
on the bus is jumpered as slave.

interface using 80-conductor Ultra cable.
NOTE: Although the PX-850A will operate with a 40-wire IDE cable, it
may not be able to write at 22X unless an 80-conductor IDE/ATA
cable is used.
• Power connector: Connects to your computer's power supply to
provide DC +5 volts and +12 volts to the PX-850A.
