The different terminators are for 'Cable Select' mode versus Master/Slave
which is more commonly used. This makes for faster transfer rates, as the
drive can grab it's data off the bus with less overhead. I think your BIOS
needs to be able to support it though. Not too sure how to get it to work
properly!
