Unfortunately, it's a little vague. You cut lines 3 and 34, and juper line 2 to ground. I can't make out what jumpers 1 and 2 do. The directions for jumper 2 say to connect the open end of R2 to pin 34. Does this mean that the line that was line 3 is now line 34? For jumper 1, it says connect the end of r15 to ground. Does that mean that the remaining end of line 3 is grounded? wlevak@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-03-26 04:00:05
