Yeah, I know.  Irwin is like that.

Set it up by plugging it in as the second floppy on the cable, load the
software, and it will run.

If you have two floppies, you need the interface board they sell.  In that
case, get the board, plug IT into a slot, plug the cables in as indicated on
the board (ie: "to controller", "to tape", "to floppy"), and you're done.

That's it.  It is really that simple.  Leave the jumpers alone; you don't
need to mess with them.
