W1, W2 Jumpers (Master / Slave Selection)
    The interface allows up to two drives (a Master and one Slave) to be 
    attached to the AT/IDE bus. The following table shows the configurations.

DRIVE IS MASTER, SLAVE IS PRESENT
     Specifies the Master drive (Drive 0) when two 2105A drives are used in the 
     system. The other drive is the Slave.

DRIVE IS SLAVE
     Specifies the Slave drive (Drive 1) when two 2105A drives are used in the 
     system. The other drive is the Master.

DRIVE IS MASTER
     Specifies the Master drive (DRIVE 0) when one 2105A drive is used in a 
     system.

CMOS SETUP
    To configure this drive on a standard CMOS set your user definable
    drive type to:

          1024 logical cylinders,
            16 logical heads, and
            63 logical sectors.
       This setting yields 528,482,304 bytes.

    NOTE:  If you BIOS or operating system can address over 1024 cylinders, 
           you may set the drive up as:

          1084 logical cylinders,
            16 logical heads, and
            63 logical sectors.
       This setting yields 559,448,064 bytes.
