memory assignment jumpers MM8EJ

[Mike Katz]

This should help:


On the G104 board there are some jumpers EMA0, EMA1 and EMA2.  These 
correspond to the the bits of the extended address of the board.
A jumper inserted means 0 and a jumper removed means a 1.

EMA    0     1      2
   0      In     In     In
   1      In     In     Out
   2      In     Out  In
   3      In     Out  Out
   4      Out  In     In
   5      Out  In     Out
    6     Out  Out  In
    7    Out   Out  Out

Please note that the MM89EJ is an 8K memory board and will take up two 
memory fields, the one selected and the one selected plus 1 (i.e.  if 
the jumpers are in out in, the memory will be on fields (EMA) 2 and 3).
