If RZ-28's are anything like other SCSI disks of similar vintage there
will be a jumper block on the end of the drive's circuit board, the
opposite end from the SCSI connector.  There is a small cable inside
the StorageWorks drive carrier that connects to this block.  If you are
lucky, the block will have only 3 pairs of pins, to set the 3 bits of
SCSI target address.
