Help - "SET MULTIPLE fail!"

I'd appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

I have acquired a second hard drive (a 540 Mb Quantum) which I wish to
install as a slave to my 420 Mb Conner master. The only documentation
that I have is the jumper setting descriptions on a piece of paper
stuck onto the disks themselves. The settings for the Quantum seem
pretty straight forward, but for the Conner they are very cryptic.
According to the piece of paper, the jumper settings for the Conner
come in three flavours, viz single, master and slave. The jumper
settings for the master and single flavours are described as the same,
which clearly is not true. What makes it more difficult is that the
pins on the board are not marked anyway.

I've tried a number of different combinations, but I'm a bit leery of
delving too much into the unknown in case I break something. The
closest I've got to success is on bootup, just before I get the
screen showing my machine's HW configuration, I get a "SET MULTIPLE
fail !" message. I can access the disks fine under DOS but there is
another application which now doesn't recognise ANY of the disks (the
Conner has logical partitions). 

Does anyone have the correct jumper settings for the Conner (a diagram
would be great!).

Much obliged,
Michael.
