 Hi
the chinon drive is shipped defaulted for dfo....looking from the back,
center and
right pins are jumpered to df0:there is a jumber on the motherboard that has
to be moved if intstalling
a df1: drive

motherboard part # 312723 installed, jumber marked J301, right side of drive
connector on motherboard.....motherboard part #380705-01, install jumber in
J36 located just below the
power supply red mark on ribbon cable matches to pin one of the drive.
This is from instruction from a Chinon fb-354 I just bought....

I found a old floppy that I had and it has the six jumper connectors you
spoke about...
the bottom center and left was jumpered on this drive....I think this drive
was in as a df1: at one time....

Hope this has helped..
