Just replaced my A2090A with an A2091 with total success, and am now using a new Fujitsu 530MB HD as a second hard drive. Not the A2091 I received had no documentation (bought used), so I need a bit of information on the board. Near where the memory chips go is a jumper labeled AUTO/DIS. What is this for? Okay, the memory sizing jumper is a no brainer. What about the OPTIONS jumper, JP5, with jumpers labeled 1, 2, 4? What type/speed of memory chips does the board take? I want to populate it to 512k, which should just fill up my autoconfig space (4 megs on A2620, 3 megs on an 8up!, and 512k space taken up by the 2386 bridgeboard). 73, Kelly

Kelly, The Auto/Dis jumper enables or disables autobooting from the hard drive. The options jumpers control several things. #1 is for "LUNs", or multiple drives at a given SCSI address. Putting the jumper On enables LUNs. #2 on extends the timeout period waiting on the drives to spin up . The other jumpers are reserved. The memory chips are CMOS 256kx4, 120ms or faster. -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
