While putting my hard drive in a USB external case, I managed to lose the
jumper that tells the drive its function as master, slave, etc.

Who sells these creatures on the net? TIA

But do you really *need* your USB EHD to be jumpered? Every USB EHD I've
ever worked with - worked - regardless of its jumpered or jumperless
setting. Have you run into a problem with the drive not being recognized
by the system that's due to a jumpers issue?

A few years ago I did, Anna. I just assumed things had remained the same.
Fat chance of that, huh? <G>

Oops. I just reread your question. No, I haven't had a problem with a USB
EHD. This is the first one I have assembled, though I have two others that
came assembled, which did not require me to think about this subject
properly.

You make an interesting point, since I am not dealing with the computer's
IDE bus directly. You're a sharp one. Thanks.
