Hi

I have just bought a Sony 3.5 inch floppy drive model number MPF420-1 
at a computer show. However I cannot get it to operate as either 
drive A or B in a situation were another 3.5 drive will. 
	If I switch to the drive the drive seeks with the drive light 
on for a couple of seconds and then the "Data error reading Drive 
A/B" comes up.
	There is a jumper block with a 5x3 set of pins and three 
jumpers - unfortunately I don't have any idea what the jumpers do as 
I got no paper stuff with it!
	Any help gratefully received.
