Jumpers W17 to W20 select factory drive tables. These are only useful if you
are low-level formatting the drive with a pre-selected configuration rather
than dynamically configuring the drive.

Jumpers W21 and W22 set the controller and BIOS address:
W21 W22 Controller BIOS
out out 320-323 C8000-C9FFF (default)
in out 324-327 CA000-CBFFF
out in 328-32B CC000-CDFFF
in in 32C-32F CE000-CFFFF
Jumpers W25 and W26 are always out.
Jumper W27 selectes the interrupt number:
W27
in IRQ2
out IRQ5 (default)
According to the manual, "W28 allows the controller to operate with an XT
computer when the jumper in OUT". The jumper should also be OUT if you are
using the controller with anything higher than an XT (such as 286/386/486).
To low-level format a drive, start up DEBUG and enter:
g=c800:5
