Which jumpers set SCSI ID and such. Most have the info on their websites.
For an internal SCSI drive on Macs, the default ID is "0" (zero). Usually, this means no ID jumber installed. Then, if it is not an Apple ROM on the drive, you will probably need either a "hacked" version of Apple's Drive Setup utility, or a third party utility to initialize the drive (such as Lido).
