Yay for old PATA Master/Slave fun.

Yay for good-old anything to do with computers: Fun. Boo for new retrofit products, which do not correctly implement physical interface. Kingspec had umpteen years of prior art to imitate; even so, they chose different drive address selection jumper positions. I made a text illustration of jumper positions, used by IBM in ThinkPad, and used by rest of industry, but NOT used by Kingpec.

drive address selection jumper positions since 1996:

HGST Technical Library is still on-line. Archive it while you still can.

I installed the KingSpec in my T43p two days ago just fine without any modification. It came with Master jumper in place.
