IDing IBM Floppy Drive Parts

Hello, all:

        I got a couple of IBM-labeled Tandon drives and a MPI/Control Data drive.
The Tandon drive is a standard TM100-2A and the CD drive has the following
ID#s -- Part 77711801, IBM Part# 1502060.

        I'm trying to recycle these in my N* (double density setup). The jumper
area is unlabeled on these drives, as is the terminator spot. On the Tandon
drive, I found a TRW IC near the floppy connector...it has a designation
"516-3-151G"...this seems to be the terminator.

        Can anyone confirm the placement of the terminator and the jumper block
pinout for both drives? Any help appreciated.
