The board is very clean. The only jumper are for autoboot and multi card setup. I think there are two jumpers for board id and one to turn autoboot on or off. There is another slot on the jumper block to plug your harddisk LED into. The software is made up of two programs, a hard formatter and a hard disk prep util ity. They're both written by Bob "Kodiak" Burns one of the original AMiga desig ners. The hard format for SCSI drives takes approx 10 minutes (this is off the top of my head) for a 65 Mg drive. The prep takes about five minutes and lets you set up your partitions etcetera. Then you do a soft reboot and format your partitions using standard AmigaDog Format command. The frame is very sturdy and well machined. As far as I can tell this is the fastest card on the market, IBM or Amiga. With one of the fast Quantum drives, there's no competition.
