I put a 20 GB IDE hard disk in my 4000T. When the jumper was set to master the computer wouldn't try to boot.. would sit at a gray screen. However, when I changed it to CS (cable select) the computer would start booting. Is there something special for the 4000 that requires that jumper be set to CS versus Master?

Wasn't the A4000T the one with an SCSI-Host-Adaptor onboard?
If so, I would suggest to operate the drive connected to the SCSI adaptor (via ACARD SCSI->IDE adaptor).
It works flawlessly and you have the advantage that you can connect up to 6 devices to the SCSI chain...
All the best,
