I got an FD502 from Mary, and it worked, so I thought I'd install it in my PC. However, nowhere I move the jumpers (in front of the card edge connector) makes any difference. As soon as I boot up, it won't recognize either floppy.

Some drives don't have jumpers. The PCs typically handled this with a cable that had some of the wires on the ribbon cable flipped.
