From your title line you indicate a 20 meg drive. Nearly all of these drives
CAN be changed by a set of "suitcase jumpers" (so called because they look like
little suitcases I suppose :-) mounted on the controller board.

If this is a normal stock apple 20 meg drive, there is a good chance that it is
a 20 Meg Miniscribe of the model 8425 variety. If so just call MINSCRIBE's
public tech support at 1-800-356-5333 and ask them which jumper is which.

Only problem is that the internal address of 0 (default) typically requires NO
jumpers, therefor you need to find some. They also have to be the half height
type in order to provide clearance. I went to a local mac repair shop and the
guy just gave me 3 (they're pretty dinky).

Hope this helps
