MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES |
The function of JP1 is to determine the select technique used to interface the host adapter. Soldering Pin 2 to Pin "P" allows for the "pulse" select that is used by controllers designed to work with SASI hosts. Soldering Pin 2 to Pin "H" or "L" allows for the "level" select signal used in accordance with SCSI standards. |
