W1, W2 Jumpers (Master / Slave Selection)
    The interface allows up to two drives (a Master and one Slave) to be
    attached to the AT/IDE bus. The following table shows the configurations.

       W1     W2    Description
    +------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
    | OUT  |  IN  | Drive is Master, Slave is present                     |
    +------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
    |  IN  | OUT  | Drive Slave                                           |
    +------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
    | OUT  | OUT  | Drive is Master                                       |
    +------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+

DRIVE IS MASTER, SLAVE IS PRESENT
     Specifies the Master drive (Drive 0) when two 2205A drives are used in the
     system. The other drive is the Slave.

DRIVE IS SLAVE
     Specifies the Slave drive (Drive 1) when two 2205A drives are used in the
     system. The other drive is the Master.

DRIVE IS MASTER
     Specifies the Master drive (DRIVE 0) when one 2205A drive is used in a
     system.

CMOS SETUP
    To configure this drive on a standard CMOS set your user definable
    drive type to:

          1024 logical cylinders,
            16 logical heads, and
            63 logical sectors.
       This setting yields 528,482,304 bytes.

    NOTE:  If your BIOS or operating system can address over 1024 cylinders,
           you may set the drive up as:

           1050 logical cylinders,
             16 logical heads, and
             63 logical sectors.

           This setting yields 541,900,800 bytes

           If your BIOS or operating system cannot address over 1024 cylinders,
           but can support over 16 heads, you may set the drive up as:


            516 logical cylinders,
             64 logical heads, and
             32 logical sectors..

           This setting yields 541,065,216 bytes.
