The pin spacing on the jumper block is incredibly >small, and is NOT the same size as this pile of jumpers I have from some old 5 I've run into this before. Everytime some takes a stock mac and replaces the internal drive with a bigger one (usually a quantum 105), they will want to keep the old drive as an external. However since the internal drive is normally a low number (0) and since many drives use OPEN jumpers for 0, there is NOTHING to rearrange to get the higher SCSI address :-) I have only seen the two different sizes of jumpers. I suspect the dinky ones that you are talking about are the same as those used in other drives (eg. the Miniscribes originally installed in the old 20 Meg macs). Have you tried talking to an Apple Dealer (with the service room in the back :-) into "selling" you 2 or 3? Usually they have just given them to me since they usually had them.
