Re: Jumpers

Course, to search online you have to know what the card is. I had to give up on a Vesa local bus I/O card after losing the documentation. Couldn't find the manual online, no markings on the card (with PCI there will always be a certification ID that identifies the hardware, plus the PCI ID itself), gave up and bought a new (better) one. (This is for retro gaming, VLB is commonly needed for a lot of 486 systems, and I already had the hardware from decades back).

Course eventually I found a photocopied sheet of the jumpers lying around the house, months later.
