Yup, we did.  CSEL only works if:
1. the Motherboard supports it;
2. you use a cable that supports it;
3. both master and slave drives are set to CSEL.
Panasonic suggest that there is a seperate CSEL model of their drive. However, if Big Bruin recalls correctly that changing the cable solved the problem of using this drive as a Slave, that would suggest that the CW-8122-BPN supports CSEL, as long as the above conditions are met.
That would make sort of sense as the most practical solution in selling drives (rather than making at least three different versions)-- except that nothing in computing ever makes sense... 
Big? What do you say? In studying your review of the CW-8122-B, and that of the Morex Cubid 3688 unit that you installed it in, I notice you definitely wired it up as a Slave on a single IDE cable with the 2.5" HDD. Did you test the drive like that?
