I don't see a "jumper" in the CPU*2 path for        > the 386.              I can't remember enough history - but I think I received it as a disembodied       planar (and no memory of who put in the CPU and FPU). I may have been testing       a CPU 'Reset Signature' (but that doesn't explain the 16MHz FPU). On another       tangent, we haven't        traced what the solder-pad header (differing in size) is on the Type 1 and       Type 2 planars, and the 2-pin jumper on the Type 2.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
