In comp.sys.sun you write:

We use these drives all the time.  Make sure that your drive has PROM
version 2.03 or later.  1.86 and earlier are known to not work under 4.1
(this has been covered in previous sun-spots).  Our distributor upgraded
them for us at no charge.

|PS. Can anyone tell me where I can get some documentation on the CP-3200

Have you asked Conner?  Leave the other jumpers alone.
