To be honest, I haven't seen one supplied preconfigured for cable
select.  They've all been master / single drive.

Though I do think that being packaged preselected for cable-select is
probably going to be the least hassles.  The drive should just work if
plugged into the right plug on the cable (e.g. for mechanised assembly
lines, and most unskilled do-it-yourselfers), and you can still change
jumpers if you want to.
