I think every drive I encountered that was manufactured after the early 90s either had a printed diagram for the jumpers somewhere on it, or else had labels molded right in to the plastic case around the pins themselves. Only time it was hard, back when I used to tinker with computers a lot, was when I'd be messing with a junked 286 or something. Further, by the late 90s IIRC drives had begun to converge on a standard jumper layout.
