Quantum Viking II Hard drive

I have a Quantum Viking II hard drive which I originally used in my PowerMac 9600 (I think - after all this time my memory fails me slightly, it might have been my G3). I don't have the 9600 any more. Is there any chance I could install it in my LCIII? What jumper settings would I need?

I have the adaptor. It's the jumper settings that elude me. I suspect that I need a bit more than just the adaptor!

Enable Single Ended mode with the TE or SE jumper (might be one or the other depending on the drive), enable termination power with the TP jumper if it isn't set already. Set the right SCSI ID with the appropriate jumpers. With that, it should be set correctly for an older 68k Mac. The other stuff (spin delay, wait spin, write protect) can be left as is (disabled).
