I was told both by our in house technicians and someone who works on 8500's
for a living that there is no such jumper. I also have the preliminary
user's manual for the 8500 (pub 510201-000) and it makes no mention of 
such a jumper. The information on mode select implies but does not 
explicitly state that the mode can only be set with the SCSI MODE SELECT
command.
