ON*        DASP- is connected to J1 pin 39. Jumpers "C", "D", "F", or
           "G" cannot be installed if jumper "E" is installed.

OFF        REFSIG is not connected to J1 pin 39.

E          (E=horizontal, pins 3 & 5)
ON         REFSIG is connected to J1 pin 39. Jumpers "C", "D", "F",
           or "G" cannot be installed if jumper "E" is installed.

OFF        REFSIG is not connected to J1 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 J1 pin 28. Jumpers "E" or "F" cannot
           be installed if jumper "G" is installed.

OFF        REFSIG is not connected to J1 pin 28.

H          (H=vertical, pins 1 & 2)
ON         Drive implements "CSEL" (Cable Select line in I/O connector)
           feature.  Implementation not defined yet.  Jumpers A and B
           not used if jumper H is on.  (This jumper is mutually
           exclusive with jumper "G").

OFF*       Drive select is based on use of jumper A or B.


J6 Jumper  Funtion Description (2x3 jumper block)
-------------------------------------------------

 * 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)

Possible translation:   895 cyl, 15 heads, 62 sectors = 426,163,200

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)".

PHYSICAL/LOGICAL equivalent to NATIVE/TRANSLATION

Already low-level formatted at the factory.

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.
