Could someone tell me the right way to jumper a later PATA drive in a 630/6400/6500 or similar? Is it M, S or CS — or nothing at all?
It’s been a while and I forget the ropes here.

Depends on the drive. Some say use no jumper at all ("single drive environment" / "only device on IDE channel" / something to that effect), others say to set the jumper to Master. You should be okay for most drives if you set the jumper(s) to Master.
You never want to set it to Slave or Cable Select as that will likely make the drive invisible to the machine or give you boot issues.
