Hey Martin
I did this 10 years ago.
Try this:
1.Mark your drives with a label.( drive 1 and 2)
2.Then pull both drives out of your EII.
Now the easy part
3. USE your eyes. Compare those 2 drives and the jumpers.
4. I remember there is a IC you have to switch. I´m not sure about that but you will se the difference on the drives. Master/slave.
If you dont have luck and any help, i can remove the top of my EII and take some pictures for you.

Thanks for that mate.
Now, forgive my ignorance but, hot do you change the jumper settings?
And what are MM/SM jumpers?
AND what is the terminator resistor pack?
Is there any documentation around for this procedure?
Thanks again,
Martin
