I can't tell you the settings, but offhand I'd say that the drive and
controller should work.  I ordered a Qubie 20Mb drive (I never did get
around to finding out who originally made the drive/controller) for
the same system; went in without a problem, factory settings.  The
Leading Edge isn't completely compatible (Ethernet cards are one of
the things that have trouble), but in terms of hard disks of that
size, there shouldn't be a problem.
