<<< There's a jumper photo here:

Will I be correct in assuming that the jumper connection shown in the photo
(the jumper connected to two adjacent pins "horizantally")is specific to the
"Maxtor diamond max plus " as stated in the caption?
the reason for my query is that in all hdd/cd-rw/cdrom/ I have seen the
jumper has to be connected to two adjacent pins "vertically". the oldest i have
seen is my own 6 year old "quatum fireball" 4 gig.
just to get a bit of knowledge... TIA and good day---Venkat
Hi,
Typically when the jumper is in a horizontal position, it is in a
'storage' position...i.e. not connected electrically. When you move it to a vertical
position, then it becomes active, and will make the drive work according to
its position.
HTH,
