For my A30p I guess, everything (IDE) in the _left_ Ultrabay is put into
slave mode... (Changed the location of my combo drive and my system
recognized it as /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hdc as before.)
So I think that this is hardwired:
1. Master: internal HD
1. Slave : left Ultrabay
2. Master: right Ultrabay
2. Slave : dunno
Best regards
