I just bought two used disk drives for my XT but they do not come with 
any manual nor documentation.  Can someone please tell me how to configure
the jumpers so that they will work together as drive A and B?

        Drive A: 360K TEAC FD-55BV-06-U
                 jumpers for: DS0, DS1, DS2, DS3
                              FG, XT, U1, U2, HL, IU, DCRY, MI, RE

        Drive B: 1.2MByte NEC FD1155C
                 jumpers for DCG1, DCG2
                             DX{ MX, 3, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1 }
                             HS{ 1, 2,2 3, 1, 2 }
                             MON{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

I appreciate your help very much since they don't even talk to my
controller (FujiTech Jumbo Drive) card at present.

If it is not too much trouble, please describe what these jumpers do.

If nobody can help, is it possible to call up TEAC or NEC technical
support? (But I cannot find their numbers!)

Thanks in advance.
