What jumper setting?

[babylon5guy]

Hi,
I had an extra ATA 100 Western Digital 80 GIG hard drive laying around so I ordered a 2.0 USB external enclosure. I was just thinking what should I jumper the drive to, Master, Slave or Cable select? Does it really matter since it is USB?
TIA

It's said in the user's manual. Usually it'll be master.

Thanks RJ, yeah I haven't recieved it yet, so I hope it does say in the users manual.

I tried setting the jumper to both master and CS and both worked in my Bytecc external housings. The IDE cable in the housing is a short 80 wire cable so I'm guessing that's why it worked with the CS jumper setting, but I use the master setting when setting up hard drives for the external housings.

Thanks Cricket, I'm getting a Bytecc to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817145363 it's all plastic so I hope it cools alright. I got it because of the good ratings.
