Well, I dunno if you refer to the MO in the external device directly sold
by Fujitsu (which I have) or some other third party case. On the first you
cannot change it from the outside and I'd be very surprised if you could
do that with a third party case.
You will have to open the case and change the jumper on thje driver. The
docs for teh MO tell you where that jumper is opn the drive and how to set
it. Of course, I could look it up for you in my docs.
Alas, as I mentioned I'm a few thousand kilometres away from home right
nopw. So, either get the docs from your frined.. or wait until I return
homew next week.
Michael.
