Notes:If JP2 is not present on main board, JP2 is factory set to open, if JP2 is present then JP2 is

factory set to closed and should not be altered.

Version B, main boards with part numbers of 150-0006935 and later, do not support the 80287.

Location of 80287 NPU is unverified.

On Version A main boards with part numbers of 150-0004426 or later, SW2/switch 3 controls

video ROM caching and DMA is always in extended mode.

If using a third-party video card, video ROM caching should be disabled.

Variable capacitors VC1 and VC2 are present only on Version A main boards.
