Today, I have discovered that the Master/Slave problem is not uniform among all old Toshiba laptops.
From my recent experiments:
Toshiba 400CDT would accept only ATAPI slave drive
Toshiba 430CDT would accept both ATAPI master and ATAPI slave.
This is a mess... since 440CDX, 470CDT, 490XCDT, 530CDT and 750 would accept only ATAPI master.
This have made a lot of confusion in my mind 😀 because I thought that problem is solved and all old Toshiba laptops from series 400, 500 and 700 required ATAPI master drives.
