The 8 pin dip outline near the bracket is what you are looking for. I've
seen WD boards with empty pads, a 4 position dip switch, an empty socket,
and a socket with a punch-type shunt installed. I used to just plug a
standard 4 position dip switch into the header/socket to make selecting
the various drive types much simpler.

Near the middle of the board are 8 solder pads.
By jumpering those
(they are the right size for a 4 position dip switch), you can get the
controller to use the other setting that are in its ROM. The 4
positions are 2 for each drive, resulting in 4 possible combinations
for each drive. 10M, the default, is both switches open.
Thanks for the info but I don't see the pads that you're talking about.
Near the center of the card are pads for a 14 pin DIP with nothing
strapped. It's unlabeled but is located between ICs 8D and 10D. Right
next to the bracket on the very end of the card is a place for an 8 pin
DIP. It has the package outline painted on the board. But it has two
rows on header pins installed instead of a DIP package. (The rows are
.4" apart.) One row of pins is marked S1 and the other is marked 1, 2,
3, 4. There's nothing jumpered on it either but I suspect that it's used
to select the drive sizes.
