GVP- I have misplaced my hardware docs on the GVP SCSI+RAM controller and need to know the jumper settings for 0,2,4,6,8 MB settings. Thanks! -Jonathan

J1 Controls the 4MB/8MB limit for PCMCIA cards. Normally it should be set to ON to allow the full 8MB of memory. J2 Controls whether 1MB or 4MB SIMMs are installed. ON means 1MB SIMMs OFF means 4MB SIMMs That's all there is to it. No need to worry about RAM configurations, just SIMMs sizes and maximum RAM setting.

huh? I have the GVP SCSI Series II + RAM board. It can hold up to 8 1MB SIMMS. What I need is the jumber settings for configurations of 0,2,4,6, and 8 MB on the board. It doesn't take 4MB SIMMS. The board has standard MAC style SIMMS in it right now configured with 8MB (fully populated). I want to reduce that configuration. -Jonathan

Jonathan, if you are using a Impact Series II controller, the jumper settings are as follows: Memory SIMM Locations J5 J6 J7 J8 J9 0 MB None OFF OFF ON OFF ON 2 MB CN10-CN11 OFF ON OFF OFF ON 4 MB CN10-CN13 ON OFF OFF OFF ON 6 MB CN10-CN15 OFF OFF ON ON OFF 8 MB CN10-CN17 OFF ON OFF ON OFF J5 through J9 are found in the block of 5 jumpers nearest the SIMMs. You need to configure for at most 6 MB of RAM to work with a BB. I hope this helps. (Thanks to Steve for the history function in AP!) Brian

From the GVP IMPACT Series II SCSI/RAM Controller Cards User's Guide: "There are five jumpers on the board below the word 'RAM'…The chart below indicates the proper jumper settings: Memory SIMM Locations J5 J6 J7 J8 J9 0 NONE OFF OFF ON OFF ON 2 CN10-CN11 OFF ON OFF OFF ON 4 CN10-CN13 ON OFF OFF OFF ON 6 CN10-CN15 OFF OFF ON ON OFF 8 CN10-CN17 OFF ON OFF ON OFF dan on AutoPilot over Honolulu dan on AutoPilot over Honolulu

Dan, if the other guys don't say thanks, I will. Thanks. It's nice to see another interested party. BTW, how is Honolulu these days? Is the steakhouse down the street from the Lollipop still open? (Still remembering the military discount). Brian

Don't know where the Lollipop is but Buzz's Steak House has a couple of locations now…if that's the one you mean. You hit that nail on the head…I'm with the Navy out here. Sunny and warm the last few days, as my red skin attests to…one of the benefits of working from dark to dark inside a submarine for weeks and then finally getting a weekend off. As for the thanks…well, I am just happy to be able to provide helpful information once in a while…I am usually the one in need. Now if I could just remember to check for other replies before I send mine. dan on autopilot over paradise dan on AutoPilot over Honolulu

Dan, yes, that's the place. I still remember spending time there with a beautiful steak and lobster and a bottle of Mouton Cadet in front of me on many a night. Heaven! I also spent time in the Navy, but the other part, you know, targets <grin>. Seven years on the USS Leftwich of which, three were spent in Hawaii (we changed homeports from Scum Diego to Honolulu). Enjoy it while you can! Brian
