  Sounds like you have already removed the drives from their mounting bracket.
 So why not simply switch their positions along with the cable? You assumption
 of jumpers needing to be changed is/was correct. But since your drives have
 the jumpers at a different place, its safe to bet they are from 2 different
 companies and that the jumper settings would be different.

  On the lighter side:

  Whats wrong with 0 on the right and 1 on the left? Its been that way ever
 since the 4040 drives. (Now thats old! :-)
