Well, I never
heard of Zorro, and I wouldn't know Turbochannel if I saw
it. I suspect PCI doesn't use jumpers because most cards are, "Plug and
Turbochannel is the bus I've seen most often with DEC RISC workstations,
although I think they were not the only vendor to use it. The MIPS boxes
and the early Alpha boxes were Turbochannel. Mostly, it was used for
frame buffers, but I think there were one or two non-graphic Turbochannel
cards.
