Use 'Cable Select' mode to possibly fix a dead drive
Authored by: Zeitkind on Nov 14, '06 01:12:25AM

Most drives need to be "master" to work, but some IDE/firewire-bridges need CS or can handle both. I doubt that switching between both settings will fix anything, but it is a known problem that IDE-drives sometimes "freeze" in an unknown state. Normally a simple power cycle will fix that, but changing the setting might reset some drives also - or reset the bridge.
