Actually, only the upper three of the rightmost four switches stay off. The
one marked 'R' has to be on for radial selection to work. I don't know what
happens if it's off, but that's no matter. I think it 's intended for use
where there's only one drive.
This isn't for a PC, so the WD controller probably isn't relevant. I'm
setting up to use a WD 1002-05 to handle both the floppy and hard disks on a
small SBC.

Boy, I must be getting old if I can supply answers like this.
I had a pair of them in a 386/20 ten-plus years ago. I have
a poorly faxed spec sheet: drive type 17, SW1 is termination
(leave open (off) if installed as a second drive), and
SW2 is the drive selection. They're not binary, they're
sequential, so shorting the first pair makes it drive 1,
only the second pair makes it drive 2, etc. In the same
folder, I have the spec sheets for the WD RLL controller,
if you need those. I can't quite read what the rightmost
four on SW2 do, but it gives me the impression they stay
"off" or at whatever config they ship with.
