- There are some pins on the bottom of that drive, I believe they aere labeled E1, E2,
- E3. Those pins need to be jumped. Some drive enclosures have SCSI ID changers which
- will jump the pins. I don't know what the combinations are to the various ID
- numbers. I have been able to use some internal drives in enclosures, with moderate
- success. Usually I am replacing those Conner 40's with bigger drives. As the
- Conner's have been crapping out in large numbers, recently.
