Cylinder Limitation Jumper Description
On some older BIOS', primarily those that auto-configure the disk drive, a hang may occur. The Cylinder
Limitation jumper reduces the capacity in the Identify Drive allowing large capacity drives to work with
older BIOS'. The capacity reported when this jumper is closed will be as follows: drives less than or equal to
32GB will report 2.1GB. Drives greater than 32GB will report 32GB.

Two drives may be accessed via a common interface cable, using the same range of I/O addresses.
The drives are jumpered as device 0 or 1 (Master/Slave), and are selected by the drive select bit in the
Device/Head register of the task file.
All Task File registers are written in parallel to both drives. The interface processor on each drive decides
whether a command written to it should be executed; this depends on the type of command and which
drive is selected. Only the drive selected executes the command and activates the data bus in response to
host I/O reads; the drive not selected remains inactive.
A master/slave relationship exists between the two drives: device 0 is the master and device 1 the slave.
When the Master is closed (factory default, figure 2-1), the drive assumes the role of master; when open, the
drive acts as a slave. In single drive configurations, the Master jumper must be closed.

CSEL (cable select) is an optional feature per ANSI ATA specification. Drives configured in a multiple
drive system are identified by CSEL’s value:
– If CSEL is grounded, then the drive address is 0.
– If CSEL is open, then the drive address is 1.
