Rafa, The EP jumper is a parity jumper on the drive, if I remember my Quantum booklet correctly. It should be turned OFF or left alone, but will not have any impact on synchronous transfers. Apparently, you can turn that on, but it doesn't appear to work with the 240. However, you probably prefer to leave it off since synchronous transfer locks out any other device on the buss while the drive transfers data. Although they say transfer rate is faster to the drive, overall it should be slower than using asynchronous. I played with that on my 3000T and frankly found that using synch resulted in problems with the drive booting, no noticeable increase in speed, and overall slowdown in buss reponse with the other devices I had connected. IMHO, leave it alone.
