J5
JUMPER | FUNCTION:
A       REFSIG: This location provides a port for external connection
of the synchronized spindle reference signal (pin-1) and ground
(pin-2).  The reference signal is bi-directional, single-ended, and
terminated without an external resistor. It is also available on J4
pin-28 if the factory jumper is installed.  The drive will
self-determine if it is a master of slave for spindle synchronization.

B       HOST SLV/ACT: When this shunt is installed, -SLAVE PRESENT
(provided by the output of a 74HCT14) is applied to J4 pin-39 for
systems that require this signal from the Master drive. If jumper "B"
is installed, then jumper "E" must not be installed.

C       MASTER: When this shunt is installed, the drive is configured
as the Master.  When not installed, the drive is a Slave.

D       SLAVE PRESENT: When installed, this shunt indicates to the
Master drive that a Slave is present.  This shunt must be installed on
the Master drive in a two-drive system.

E       ACTIVE: When this shunt is installed, DASP- is made present on
J4 pin-39. If "E" is installed, then "B" must not be installed.

J5 Jumper  Function Description
-------------------------------
A    B     (A=vertical, pins 9 & 10; B=horizontal, pins 8 & 10)
OFF  OFF   Drive is the slave (Drive 1).
OFF  ON    Drive is the master (Drive 0) with slave (Drive 1) present.
ON*  OFF   Drive s the master (Drive 0).

C          (C=horizontal, pins 5 & 7)
ON         Slave (Drive 1) Present is connected to J4 pin 39. Jumpers
          "D" or "E" cannot be installed if jumper "C" is installed.

D          (D=vertical, pins 5 & 6)
ON*        DASP- is connected to J4 pin 39. Jumpers "C", "D", "F", or
          "G" cannot be installed if jumper "E" is installed.

OFF        REFSIG is not connected to J4 pin 39.

E          (E=horizontal, pins 3 & 5)
ON         REFSIG is connected to J4 pin 39. Jumpers "C", "D", "F",
          or "G" cannot be installed if jumper "E" is installed.

OFF        REFSIG is not connected to J4 pin 39.

F          (F=vertical, pins 3 & 4)
ON*        No external reference for REFSIG. Jumpers "E", "G", or "H"
          cannot be installed if jumper "F" is installed.

OFF        This location provides a port for external connection of
          the synchronized spindle reference signal (pin 3) and
          ground (pin 4).

G          (G=horizontal, pins 1 & 3)
ON         REFSIG is connected to J4 pin 28. Jumpers "E" or "F" cannot
          be installed if jumper "G" is installed.

OFF        REFSIG is not connected to J4 pin 28.

J6 Jumper  Funtion Description (2x3 jumper block)
-------------------------------------------------
    1     Remote LED connection. Pin 6 is connected to +5v through a
          147 ohm resistor. Pin 5 is the LED driver.

    2     ATA mode. When the jumper is ON, IORDY is not connected to
          J4, DMACK- is connected to J4 pin 27, and DMARQ is
          connected to J4 pin 29. When the jumper is OFF, IORDY is
          connected to J4 pin 27, DMACK- is connected to J4 pin 29,
          and DMARQ is connected to J4 pin 21.

    3     Reserved jumper position.

Possible translation:  726 cyl, 15 heads, 61 sectors = 340,116,480

Note: A "custom" or "user-definded" CMOS drivetype  may ask for a
numerical value for the Write Precompensation cylinder and for the
Landing Zone cylinder.  A basic rule-of-thumb for drive models that do
not require the old Write Precomp technique or a Landing Zone because
they are Auto-Parking is to add 1 to the cylinder value being used. As
an example: If cylinders equaled 820, then both Write Precomp and
Landing Zone would be entered as 821. Some BIOS will convert this to
65535 or -1, which are functionally equivalent to "none (not used)".

* Two spare sector per cyliner, two spare cylinders per drive.

** MAY REQUIRE FORMATTING AND PARTITIONING SOFTWARE.  ALSO, CHECK TO
SEE IF YOUR CMOS SETUP HAS A "CUSTOM" OR "USER DEFINABLE" DRIVE TYPE
AVAILABLE. (see below)

Since a User-definable or Custom translation geometry may be used, it
is imperative that the values be written down and kept with your
permanent records for retrieval in the event of CMOS battery failure.
