I'd pop the case and look at the drive mechanism itself...many SCSI
devices printed a Q&D guide to jumper settings on the label.
The other thing looking iside will get you is the model and
manufacturer. Most manufacturers have manuals and settings for their
devices online.
That said, SCSI settings are pretty straightforward, for external
devices you usually only have to worry about ID.
There are three sets of pins to set a SCSI ID, these are usually
labelled ID0, ID1, ID2 or similar.
Then set the ID as follows: (x means jumper those pins)
SCSI address ID0 ID1 ID2
0
1 x
2 x
3 x x
4 x
5 x x
6 x x
7 x x x
There are also sometimes jumpers to enable termination, and whether the
device provides termination power to the bus. ON external devices those
are best left unjumpered, as you'll be using an external terminator,
most likely.
