Why, I must ask.

For the past 15, or so years (since DOS 6) I have been connecting a master
drive to the second connector and a slave drive to the end connector - if my
physical case layout warrants such.

I have "never" experienced a problem by to doing so, that I can recall.

Is there something that I am missing? (-:
