Not only that, but Quantum was the worst about mislabelling drives.
I've seen several sub-1GB Quantum IDE drives with SCSI jumper settings

The older drives have the settings printed on the top of the drive cyl
heads sectors etc
True, and sometimes whats printed on the drive does not match what the
drive reports to the BIOS. Of course, sometimes people would use settings
from a book of hard drive settings, especially when the drive was already
installed. The settings printed in such a book don't always match whats
printed on the drive or what the drive reports to the BIOS.
