+This file is a supplement to README.arcnet. Please read that for general
+driver configuration help.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Because so many people (myself included) seem to have obtained ARCnet cards
+without manuals, this file contains a quick introduction to ARCnet hardware,
+some cabling tips, and a listing of all jumper settings I can find. Please
+e-mail [email protected] with any settings for your particular card, or
+any other information you have!
+
+
+INTRODUCTION TO ARCNET
+----------------------
+
+ARCnet is a network type which works in a way similar to popular "ethernet"
+networks but which is also different in some very important ways.
+
+First of all, you can get ARCnet cards in two speeds: 2.5Mbps (slower than
+ethernet) and 100Mbps (faster than ethernet). The two hardware types, as
+far as I'm aware, are not compatible and so you cannot wire a 100Mbps card
+to a 2.5Mbps card, and so on. From what I hear, my driver does work with
+100Mbps cards, but I haven't been able to verify this myself, since I only
+have the 2.5Mbps variety.
+
+You also cannot connect an ARCnet card to any kind of ethernet card and
+expect it to work.
+
+There are two "types" of ARCnet - STAR topology and BUS topology. This
+refers to how the cards are meant to be wired together. According to all
+available documentation, you can only connect STAR cards to STAR cards and
+BUS cards to BUS cards. That makes sense, right? Well, it's not quite
+true; see below under "Cabling."
+
+Once you get past these little stumbling blocks, ARCnet is actually quite a
+well-designed standard. It uses something called "modified token passing"
+which makes it completely incompatible with so-called "Token Ring" cards,
+but which makes transfers much more reliable than with ethernet. In fact,
+ARCnet will guarantee that a packet arrives safely at the destination, and
+even if it can't possibly be delivered properly (ie. because of a cable
+break) it will at least tell the sender about it.
+
+In addition, all known ARCnet cards have an (almost) identical programming
+interface. This means that with one "arcnet" driver you can support any
+card; whereas, with ethernet, each manufacturer uses what is sometimes a
+completely different programming interface, leading to a lot of different,
+sometimes very similar, ethernet drivers. Of course, always using the same
+programming interface also means that when high-performance hardware
+facilities like PCI busmastering DMA appear, it's hard to take advantage of
+them.
+
+One thing that makes ARCnet cards difficult to program for, however, is the
+limit on their packet sizes; standard ARCnet can only send packets that are
+up to 508 bytes in length. This is smaller than the internet "bare minimum"
+of 576 bytes, let alone the ethernet MTU of 1500. To compensate, an extra
+level of encapsulation is defined by RFC1201 called "packet splitting" which
+allows "virtual packets" to grow as large as 64K each, although they are
+generally kept down to the ethernet-style 1500 bytes.
+
+
+CABLING ARCNET NETWORKS
+-----------------------
+ - Information in this section is from several contributors, including:
+ Stephen A. Wood <[email protected]>
+ John Paul Morrison <[email protected]>
+ Joachim Koenig <[email protected]>
+ Vojtech Pavlik <[email protected]>
+
+ - I, Avery Pennarun, tried to arrange it into something that makes sense
+ when all put together. All mistakes, then, are most likely my fault.
+ Bug me about them.
+
+Ideally, according to documentation, ARCnet networks should be connected
+with 93 Ohm cables with 93 Ohm resistors as terminators. I use TV cable and
+no resistors to connect two STAR cards. Blah. Your mileage may vary.
+
+Here's some more specific information about cables, sent in by Joachim
+Koenig (slight touchups by me):
+
+ The following cables are valid for ARCnet:
+ RG-62 93 Ohm up to 610 m
+ RG-59/U 75 Ohm up to 457 m
+ RG-11/U 75 Ohm up to 533 m
+ IBM Typ 1 150 Ohm up to 200 m
+ IBM Typ 3 100 Ohm up to 100 m
+
+So you can see that while 93 Ohms is ideal, you can still go half a
+kilometer with 75 Ohm TV cable.
+
+The above applies to all known ARCnet cards. Specific to STAR cards,
+though, Stephen A. Wood has some information:
+
+ When I bought my two cards at a garage sale, they came with little
+ box with four BNC connectors on the outside. The shields of the
+ four connectors are all grounded together, and the center conductors
+ were connected by the following resistor network.
+
+ |
+ |
+ R
+ |
+ ---R-+-R---
+ |
+ R
+ |
+ |
+
+ Where R is 47 Ohms. A little math shows that if you terminate three
+ of the outputs with 90 ohms (A cable or a terminator), the remaining
+ input sees 90 Ohms. Therefore this box is impedance matched to 90
+ Ohm cable. So this box can be used to connect 2 to 4 nodes
+ together.
+
+If you really use your imagination, you can see how the above diagram kind
+of looks like a "star." John Paul Morrison makes a few notes about the
+above:
+
+ The "little box with four BNC connectors on the outside" is an
+ Arcnet passive hub. They're worth about $5 (just so you don't get
+ ripped off).
+
+ I don't have specs at my fingertips. Basically, don't use too many
+ passive hubs (or none at all, apparently passive hubs are A Bad
+ Thing. On the other hand, they're a really cheap way to do things.)
+
+ Arcnet active hubs are available; they are analogous to Ethernet
+ twisted pair hubs. You can plug either a single station or a passive
+ hub into each port on the active hub. If you plug in a passive hub,
+ that lets you connect three more stations.
+
+According to Vojtech Pavlik, there shouldn't be more than one passive hub
+between two "active ends", an active end being an active hub or an ARCnet
+card.
+
+As for BUS cards, they're even easier (for more than two cards, anyway; you
+can't get much simpler than direct-connecting two STAR cards with a TV
+cable). They work just like Thinnet ethernet; it looks like this:
+
+ R------+------+------+------R
+ | | |
+ NODE NODE NODE
+
+Where R is the terminator as usual, and '+' represents a T connector.
+
+Okay, then, what if you have a combination of BUS cards and STAR cards? You
+probably can't do ANY combination you want, but Vojtech Pavlik explains what
+works for him (WARNING: I, Avery, haven't tried anything this weird myself):
+
+ All that I need is to terminate each end with a STAR card. I think I
+ can even connect the cards like this:
+
+ STAR------+-----+-----STAR
+ BUS BUS
+
+ Where "-" stands for coax, "+" for T connector, "STAR" for star-type
+ arcnet card and BUS for bus-type arcnet cards. I think there will be
+ no terminators necessary.
+
+He also explains (I paraphrase slightly here):
+
+ R-+----------STAR
+ BUS
+
+ In this case, I have to terminate the end with the bus card
+ using a terminator. ("R" - terminator, "+" - T connector "-" - coax,
+ everything other is probably clear)
+
+ [...]
+
+ And _MAYBE_ you can do even more complicated and insane combinations
+ when just thinking of the STAR card as a BUS one with an inside
+ installed terminator. (STAR cards are NOT bus ones with terminator,
+ but I believe that they electrically act like them).
+
+And finally, he gives a shortcut for BUS users that are low on supplies:
+
+ When you have really short cables (about four meters in total) and have lack
+ of terminators or T's you can leave one of the terminators out .... or put
+ it in the middle like this:
+
+ BUS-----T-----BUS
+ R
+
+ It's ugly, but it works.
+
+I don't pretend to understand what's happening there, but then again, I
+don't have BUS cards either.
+
+
+
+SETTING THE JUMPERS
+-------------------
+
+All ARCnet cards should have a total of four or five different settings:
+
+ - the I/O address: this is the "port" your ARCnet card is on. Probed
+ values, as of v0.14, are only from 0x200 through 0x3F0. (If your card
+ has additional ones, which is possible, please tell me.) This should not
+ be the same as any other device on your system. According to a doc I
+ got from Novell, MS Windows prefers values of 0x300 or more, eating
+ netconnections on my system otherwise.
+ - Avery's favourite: 0x300.
+
+ - the IRQ: on 8-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, or 7.
+ on 16-bit cards, it might be 2 (9), 3, 4, 5, 7, or 10-15. Make
+ sure this is different from any other card on your system. Note that
+ IRQ2 is the same as IRQ9, as far as Linux is concerned.
+ - Avery's favourite: IRQ2.
+
+ - the memory address: Unlike most cards, ARCnets use "shared memory" for
+ copying buffers around. Make SURE it doesn't conflict with any other
+ used memory in your system!
+ A0000 - VGA graphics memory (ok if you don't have VGA)
+ B0000 - Monochrome text mode
+ C0000 \ One of these is your VGA BIOS - usually C0000.
+ E0000 /
+ F0000 - System BIOS
+
+ Anything less than 0xA0000 is, well, a BAD idea since it isn't above
+ 640k.
+ - Avery's favourite: 0xD0000
+
+ - the station address: Every ARCnet card has its own "unique" network
+ address from 0 to 255. Unlike ethernet, you can set this address
+ yourself with a jumper. Since it's only 8 bits, you can only have 254
+ ARCnet cards on a network. DON'T use 0 or 255, since these are
+ reserved. (although neat stuff will probably happen if you DO use them).
+ By the way, if you haven't already guessed, don't set this the same as
+ any other ARCnet on your network!
+ - Avery's favourite: 3 and 4. Not that it matters.
+
+ - There may be ETS1 and ETS2 settings. These may or may not make a
+ difference, but are used to change the delays used when powering up
+ a computer on the network. This is only necessary when wiring VERY
+ long range ARCnet networks, on the order of 4km or so; in any case,
+ the only real requirement here is that all cards on the network with
+ ETS1 and ETS2 jumpers have them in the same position.
+
+
+Here's the all the jumper information I could obtain for individual card
+types. Unfortunately, there is a lot of duplicated information here.
+Someday, I may get around to actually organizing it. Until then... too much
+is better than too little, I say :)
+
+The model # is listed right above specifics for that card, so you should be
+able to use your text viewer's "search" function to find the entry you want.
+
+If your model isn't listed, and has different settings, PLEASE PLEASE tell
+me. I had to figure mine out without the manual, and it WASN'T FUN!
+
+Even if your ARCnet model isn't listed, but has the same jumpers as another
+model that is, please e-mail me to say so.

+ cable-connector and it's for changing to star or bus topology;
+ closed: star - open: bus
+ On the PC500 are some more jumper-pins, one block labled with RX,PDN,TXI

+
+
+Setting the Node ID
+-------------------
+
+The eight switches in group S2 are used to set the node ID.
+Each node attached to the network must have an unique node ID which
+must be diffrent from 0.
+Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
+
+The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
+These values are:
+ Switch | Value
+ -------|-------
+ 1 | 1

+
+
+Setting the I/O Base Address
+----------------------------
+
+The first three switches in switch group S1 are used to select one
+of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the followig table
+
+
+ Switch | Hex I/O
+ 1 2 3 | Address
+ -------|--------
+ 0 0 0 | 260

+ 1 1 0 | 380
+ 1 1 1 | 3E0
+
+
+Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The memory buffer requires 2K of a 16K block of RAM. The base of this
+16K block can be located in any of eight positions.
+Switches 4-6 of switch group S1 select the Base of the 16K block.
+Within that 16K address space, the buffer may be assigned any one of four
+positions, determined by the offset, switches 7 and 8 of group S1.

+*) To enable the 8K Boot PROM install the jumper ROM.
+ The default is jumper ROM not installed.
+
+
+Setting the Timeouts and Interrupt
+----------------------------------
+
+The jumpers labeled EXT1 and EXT2 are used to determine the timeout
+parameters. These two jumpers are normally left open.
+Refer to the COM9026 Data Sheet for alternate configurations.
+
+To select a hardware interrupt level set one (only one!) of the jumpers
+IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7. The Manufactor's default is IRQ2.
+
+
+Configuring the PC130E for Star or Bus Topology
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The single jumper labeled STAR is used to configure the PC130E board for
+star or bus topology.
+When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
+it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.
+
+
+Diagnostic LEDs
+---------------
+
+Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
+The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
+board activity:
+
+ Green | Status Red | Status
+ -------|------------------- ---------|-------------------
+ on | normal activity flash/on | data transfer
+ blink | reconfiguration off | no data transfer;
+ off | defectiv board or | incorect memory or
+ | node ID is zero | I/O address

+Note: There is another Version of the PC500 called Short Version, which
+ is different in hard- and software! The most important differences
+ are:
+ - The long board has no Shared memory
+ - On the long board the selection of the interrupt is done by binary
+ coded switch, on the short board directly by jumper.

+
+Setting the Node ID
+-------------------
+
+The eight switches in group SW3 are used to set the node ID. Each node
+attached to the network must have an unique node ID which must be
+diffrent from 0.
+Switch 1 serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
+
+The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
+These values are:
+
+ Switch | Value
+ -------|-------
+ 1 | 1
+ 2 | 2
+ 3 | 4
+ 4 | 8

+Setting the I/O Base Address
+----------------------------
+
+The first six switches in switch group SW1 are used to select one
+of 32 possible I/O Base addresses using the followig table
+
+ Switch | Hex I/O
+ 6 5 4 3 2 1 | Address
+ -------------|--------
+ 0 1 0 0 0 0 | 200

+
+
+Setting the Interrupt
+---------------------
+
+Switches seven through ten of switch group SW1 are used to select the
+interrupt level. The interrupt level is binary coded, so selections
+from 0 to 15 would be possible, but only the following eight values will
+be supported: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.
+
+ Switch | IRQ
+ 10 9 8 7 |
+ ---------|--------
+ 0 0 1 1 | 3
+ 0 1 0 0 | 4
+ 0 1 0 1 | 5
+ 0 1 1 1 | 7
+ 1 0 0 1 | 9 (=2) (default)
+ 1 0 1 0 | 10
+ 1 0 1 1 | 11
+ 1 1 0 0 | 12
+
+
+Setting the Timeouts
+--------------------
+
+The two jumpers JP2 (1-4) are used to determine the timeout parameters.
+These two jumpers are normally left open.
+Refer to the COM9026 Data Sheet for alternate configurations.
+
+
+Configuring the PC500 for Star or Bus Topology
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The single jumper labeled JP6 is used to configure the PC500 board for
+star or bus topology.
+When the jumper is installed, the board may be used in a star network, when
+it is removed, the board can be used in a bus topology.
+
+
+Diagnostic LEDs
+---------------
+
+Two diagnostic LEDs are visible on the rear bracket of the board.
+The green LED monitors the network activity: the red one shows the
+board activity:
+
+ Green | Status Red | Status
+ -------|------------------- ---------|-------------------
+ on | normal activity flash/on | data transfer
+ blink | reconfiguration off | no data transfer;
+ off | defectiv board or | incorect memory or
+ | node ID is zero | I/O address

+PDI507 (16-bit card)
+--------------------
+ - from Mark Rejhon <[email protected]> (slight modifications by
+ Avery)
+ - Send questions/suggestions/etc about this text to Mark.
+
+Jumpers:
+
+ There is a jumper array at the bottom of the card, near the edge
+ connector. This array is labelled J1. They control the IRQs and
+ something else. Put only one jumper on the IRQ pins.
+
+ IRQ2 - Use IRQ 2 (same as IRQ 9 as far as software is concerned)
+ IRQ3 - Use IRQ 3 (used by COM2 or COM4 serial port if either exists)
+ IRQ4 - Use IRQ 4 (used by COM1 or COM3 serial port if either exists)
+ IRQ5 - Use IRQ 5 (used by LPT2 parallel port if one exists)
+ IRQ6 - Use IRQ 6 (used by Floppy Disk Controller if one exists)
+ IRQ7 - Use IRQ 7 (used by LPT1 parallel port if one exists)
+
+[Avery's note: This "unknown" set of two jumpers appears to be on all
+ARCnet cards by SMC as well. Putting jumpers on them seems to affect the
+status register, but only for the two "reserved" bits, ETS1 and ETS2. Any
+further information is welcome.]
+
+ ET1 - What is this? (Not tested, no jumper put on it)
+ ET2 - What is this? (Not tested, no jumper put on it)
+
+ There is a J2 jumper on two pins. A jumper should be put on them,
+ since it was already there when I got the card. I don't know what
+ this jumper is for though.
+
+ There is a two-jumper array for J3. I don't know what it is for,
+ but there were already two jumpers on it when I got the card. It's
+ a six pin grid in a two-by-three fashion. The jumpers were
+ configured as follows:
+
+ .-------.
+ o | o o |
+ :-------: ------> Accessible end of card with connectors
+ o | o o | in this direction ------->
+ `-------'
+
+ There is also a J4 jumper on two pins. A jumper should be put on
+ them, since it was already there when I got the card. I don't know
+ what this jumper is for though.
+
+
+DIP Switches:
+
+ The dipswitches accessible on the accessible end of the card while
+ it is installed, is used to set the arcnet address. There are 8
+ switches. Use an address from 1 to 254.
+
+ Switch No.
+ 12345678 Arcnet address
+ -----------------------------------------
+ 00000000 FF (Don't use this!)
+ 00000001 FE
+ 00000010 FD
+ ....
+ 11111101 2
+ 11111110 1
+ 11111111 0 (Don't use this!)
+
+ There is another dipswitch array of 8 switches at the top of the
+ card. There are five labelled MS0-MS4 which seem to control the
+ memory address, and another three labelled IO0-IO2 which seem to
+ control the base I/O address of the card.
+
+ This was difficult to test by trial and error, and the I/O addresses
+ are in a weird order. This was tested by setting the DIP switches,
+ rebooting the computer, and attempting to load ARCETHER at various
+ addresses (mostly between 0x200 and 0x400). The address that caused
+ the red transmit LED to blink, is the one that I thought works.
+
+ Also, the address 0x3D0 seem to have a special meaning, since the
+ ARCETHER packet driver loaded fine, but without the red LED
+ blinking. I don't know what 0x3D0 is for though. I recommend using
+ an address of 0x300 since Windows may not like addresses below
+ 0x300.
+
+ IO Switch No.
+ 210 I/O address
+ -------------------------------
+ 111 0x260
+ 110 0x290
+ 101 0x2E0
+ 100 0x2F0
+ 011 0x300
+ 010 0x350
+ 001 0x380
+ 000 0x3E0
+
+ The memory switches set a reserved address space of 0x1000 bytes
+ (0x100 segment units, or 4k). For example if I set an address of
+ 0xD000, it will use up addresses 0xD000 to 0xD100.
+
+ The memory switches were tested by booting using QEMM386 stealth,
+ and using LOADHI to see what address automatically became excluded
+ from the upper memory regions, and then attempting to load ARCETHER
+ using these addresses.
+
+ I recommend using an arcnet memory address of 0xD000, and putting
+ the EMS page frame at 0xC000 while using QEMM stealth mode. That
+ way, you get contiguous high memory from 0xD100 almost all the way
+ the end of the megabyte.
+
+ Memory Switch 0 (MS0) didn't seem to work properly when set to OFF
+ on my card. It could be malfunctioning on my card. Experiment with
+ it ON first, and if it doesn't work, set it to OFF. (It may be a
+ modifier for the 0x200 bit?)
+
+ MS Switch No.
+ 43210 Memory address

+
+Setting the Node ID
+-------------------
+
+The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
+to the network must have an unique node ID which must be diffrent from 0.
+Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
+
+The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
+These values are:
+
+ Switch | Label | Value
+ -------|-------|-------
+ 1 | ID0 | 1
+ 2 | ID1 | 2
+ 3 | ID2 | 4

+ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 | FF | 255
+
+
+Setting the I/O Base Address
+----------------------------
+
+The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
+of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the followig table
+
+
+ Switch | Hex I/O
+ 6 7 8 | Address
+ ------------|--------
+ ON ON ON | 260
+ OFF ON ON | 290
+ ON OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufactor's default)
+ OFF OFF ON | 2F0
+ ON ON OFF | 300
+ OFF ON OFF | 350
+ ON OFF OFF | 380
+ OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
+
+
+Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
+located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
+memory base + 8K or memory base + 0x2000.
+Switches 1-5 of switch block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
+
+ Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
+ 1 2 3 4 5 | Address | Address *)
+ --------------------|---------|-----------
+ ON ON ON ON ON | C0000 | C2000
+ ON ON OFF ON ON | C4000 | C6000
+ ON ON ON OFF ON | CC000 | CE000
+ ON ON OFF OFF ON | D0000 | D2000 (Manufactor's default)
+ ON ON ON ON OFF | D4000 | D6000
+ ON ON OFF ON OFF | D8000 | DA000
+ ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
+ ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
+
+*) To enable the Boot ROM install the jumper JP1
+
+Note: Since the switches 1 and 2 are always set to ON it may be possible
+ that they can be used to add an offset of 2K, 4K or 6K to the base
+ address, but this feature is not documented in the manual and I
+ haven't testet it yet.
+
+
+Setting the Interrupt Line
+--------------------------
+
+To select a hardware interrupt level install one (only one!) of the jumpers
+JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, JP6. JP2 is the default.
+
+ Jumper | IRQ
+ -------|-----
+ 2 | 2
+ 3 | 3
+ 4 | 4
+ 5 | 5
+ 6 | 7
+
+
+Setting the Internal Terminator on CN120AB/TP/SBT
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The jumper JP12 is used to enable the internal terminator.
+
+ -----
+ 0 | 0 |
+ ----- ON | | ON
+ | 0 | | 0 |
+ | | OFF ----- OFF

+Setting the Node ID
+-------------------
+
+The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
+to the network must have an unique node ID which must be diffrent from 0.
+Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
+
+The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
+These values are:
+
+ Switch | Label | Value
+ -------|-------|-------
+ 1 | ID0 | 1
+ 2 | ID1 | 2

+
+NONAME 16-BIT ARCNET
+====================
+
+The manual of my 8-Bit NONAME ARCnet Card contains another description
+of a 16-Bit Coax / Twisted Pair Card. This description is incomplete,
+because there are missing two pages in the manual booklet. (The table
+of contents reports pages ... 2-9, 2-11, 2-12, 3-1, ... but inside
+the booklet there is a diffrent way of counting ... 2-9, 2-10, A-1,
+(empty page), 3-1, ..., 3-18, A-1 (again), A-2)
+Also the picture of the board layout is not as good as the picture of
+8-Bit card, because there isn't any letter like "SW1" written to the
+picture.
+Should somebody have such a board, please feel free to complete this
+description or to send a mail to me!

+
+Setting the Node ID
+-------------------
+
+The eight switches in SW2 are used to set the node ID. Each node attached
+to the network must have an unique node ID which must be diffrent from 0.
+Switch 1 (ID0) serves as the least significant bit (LSB).
+
+Setting one of the switches to Off means "1", On means "0".
+
+The node ID is the sum of the values of all switches set to "1"
+These values are:
+
+ Switch | Label | Value

+Setting the I/O Base Address
+----------------------------
+
+The last three switches in switch block SW1 are used to select one
+of eight possible I/O Base addresses using the followig table
+
+
+ Switch | Hex I/O
+ 6 7 8 | Address
+ ------------|--------
+ ON ON ON | 260
+ OFF ON ON | 290
+ ON OFF ON | 2E0 (Manufactor's default)
+ OFF OFF ON | 2F0
+ ON ON OFF | 300
+ OFF ON OFF | 350
+ ON OFF OFF | 380
+ OFF OFF OFF | 3E0
+
+
+Setting the Base Memory (RAM) buffer Address
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The memory buffer (RAM) requires 2K. The base of this buffer can be
+located in any of eight positions. The address of the Boot Prom is
+memory base + 0x2000.
+Jumpers 3-5 of jumper block SW1 select the Memory Base address.
+
+ Switch | Hex RAM | Hex ROM
+ 1 2 3 4 5 | Address | Address *)
+ --------------------|---------|-----------
+ ON ON ON ON ON | C0000 | C2000
+ ON ON OFF ON ON | C4000 | C6000
+ ON ON ON OFF ON | CC000 | CE000
+ ON ON OFF OFF ON | D0000 | D2000 (Manufactor's default)
+ ON ON ON ON OFF | D4000 | D6000
+ ON ON OFF ON OFF | D8000 | DA000
+ ON ON ON OFF OFF | DC000 | DE000
+ ON ON OFF OFF OFF | E0000 | E2000
+
+*) To enable the Boot ROM set the jumper 8 of jumper block SW3 to position ON.
+
+The jumpers 1 and 2 probably add 0x0800, 0x1000 and 0x1800 to RAM addres.
+
+Setting the Interrupt Line
+--------------------------
+
+Jumpers 1-5 of the jumper block SW3 controll the IRQ level.
+
+ Jumper | IRQ
+ 1 2 3 4 5 |
+ ----------------------------
+ ON OFF OFF OFF OFF | 2
+ OFF ON OFF OFF OFF | 3
+ OFF OFF ON OFF OFF | 4
+ OFF OFF OFF ON OFF | 5
+ OFF OFF OFF OFF ON | 7
+
+
+Setting the Timeout Parameters
+------------------------------
+
+The jumpers 6-7 of the jumper block SW3 are used to determine the timeout
+parameters. These two jumpers are normally left in the OFF position.
