That figures. The 2372 does have it. We're using one. Throughput on that
board STINKS; we can't top 100KB/sec through SCO Xenix, while the WD1006 is
some 3-4X faster (and has better ECC circuitry!) Grrrrrrrr...

Unfortunately I haven't seen a WD board yet that has the jumper on it. I
have complained loudly to the WD people here in town about this... so far
they have no good answers, but promised to relay my complaints.
