I had a couple of Option cards and (I think) a
manual that I gave
away when I cleaned up last year. I think I gave the stuff to Mike
Haas <dogas(a)bellsouth.net>et>. You might be able to get him to dig the
manual out and check it.
The Central Point Deluxe Option Board manual had about as much information
in it as the manual for a generic mouse.
There has now been MORE information about installing the board on this
list than there was in the manual. Some versions of the manual mentioned
the jumper (some didn't), but only said to use it if you had a Compaq,
without explaining that it dealt with interchanging the input v output
connectors. The rest of the installation section of the manual dealt in
considerable detail with how to open the case of PCs!
If you need that level of installation detail, then the option board will
never work.
I am a firm believer in finding and reading all information in any
available documentation. ALL information from that manual has already
been posted here. At this point, the manual is of less actual use than
the original shipping box.
