Can anyone tell me the jumper settings I need on an OMTI 5510-3 (rev.
E) in order to properly interface a Seagate ST-225 as drive C: on an
XT-clone? 
  I called OMTI and was told "Oh, we don't support that card anymore."
I thought it would have taken hardly any more time to look up a jumper
setting on a table than to respond at all, but... I persisted, and the
guy said "try jumpering j1 and j4" and then he hung up (hanged up?).
Needless to say, his info was wrong. The ST-225 is known good, as it
worked with a Konan controller on another machine. The OMTI card was
working when last used with a genuine ST-506. If someone has an OMTI
card working in this most vanilla of configurations, please tell me
what your jumper settings are. Thanks. 
   BTW, in contrast with OMTI, I have received good support from
Western Digital in the past, and superb support from Perstor.
