I got four of these cards recently, and now I'm looking for information about how to set the (surprisingly low amount of) jumpers.

There are four 2-pin jumpers on the left side, labelled SPSEL0-to-2 and WPSEL (with SPSEL2 and WPSEL closed), and nine 3-pin jumpers in the center, which I assume are for enabling or disabling various functionalities, but I don't know which is which.

Also, Prime 2C is a pretty familiar chip (although I've only seen it on ISA cards until now), but I've never heard of "Lion 3+"...

If memory serves, the jumpers on the left are for selecting IDE channels/disabling but I don't know what the combinations are....however I seem to recall the WPSEL having something to do with the floppy port.

The lower row is I'm certain for selecting different combinations of parallel, serial, game port functionality. All you can do is really plug it into a nice VLB board and record the BIOS splash info to figure it all out.

Will pay $$$ for:

PM me for my list of trade-ables...

The card has no BIOS...

He was talking about the bootup screen when you power your computer on. The one that shows the name and logo of the BIOS manufacturer in the upper left and all the devices attached.
