Mike,
The SCSI spec allows for a 9th bit to be send..a parity bit. I
don't recall if it's odd or even parity…but in any case, it's used as an
error checking mechanism.
The EP jumper allows the drive to send and receive that 9th bit and
check it's validity. Unfortunately, different drives enable it by leaving
the jumper on, and other drives enable it by leaving the jumper off.
