I've got the EXT-4000-series manual. I never owned one of the 4380's,
though I tested a number. Miniscribe built a model 9380 which was quite
similar, except that fewer than 10% of them would pass our tests. However,
I used the 9380's for quite a while in my personal systems.
There was once a military (air force, I believe) site called TheRef, which
had much of this data, if you haven't the patience for me to look up the
information you need. I recall there were quite a number of jumper
options. If you can find me the desired configuration, I can give you the
relevant jumpers and their effects.

OK, I'm stumped. I'm finally getting around to adding one of the 380Mb
ESDI HD's that I got to replace the 150Mb ones I've been using in my
PDP-11/73. So I check out "The Tech Page" and while they've got the
drive,
they don't give any of the jumper settings. Does
anyone happen to have
the
settings for this drive?
