I hope this is helpful to someone out there. == EtherCard PLUS (WD8003E) == And == EtherCard PLUS With Boot ROM Socket (WD8003EBT) == JUMPER PIN FUNCTION SELECTED BLOCK NUMBERS NAME WHEN JUMPER IS INSTALLED ------ -------- ---- ---------------------------- W1 1-2 Zero Select zero wait states for optimized Wait operation in a 6MHz AT. (Factory setting is jumper removed, which ensures correct operation in faster AT bus systems.) This jumper is ignored in XT bus systems. W1 I/O Base Selects the I/O Base Address Address (Up to 3 jumpers) 3-4*,5-6*,9-10* 280 -- the factory setting 5-6, 9-10 2A0 3-4, 9-10 2C0 9-10 2E0 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 300 5-6, 7-8 320 3-4, 7-8 340 W2 1-2 IRQ7 Interrupt request level. 3-4 IRQ6 Only one jumper may be installed at a 5-6 IRQ5 time. 7-8 IRQ4 9-10* IRQ3 (Factory setting is IRQ3) 11-12 IRQ2 W3 1-2* AUI- Ethernet type: pins all jumpered to 3-4* BNC use J1 BNC connector for this Ethernet 5-6* cable (* - the factory setting). 7-8* Jumpers all removed to use J2 AUI 9-10* connector (thick Ethernet cable). 11-12* W4 1-2 Ethernet Jumper removed for thin Ethernet and Version IEEE 802.3/Version 2 thick Ethernet (the factory setting); jumper in- stalled for thick Ethernet Version 1. W5 1-2* Segment Selects thin Ethernet segment length: Length jumpered for IEEE 802.3 standard 185m length (*-the factory setting); jumper removed for 300m extended length. == Additiional Jumpers On == == EtherCard PLUS With ROM Socket Only (WD8003EBT) == JUMPER PIN FUNCTION SELECTED BLOCK NUMBERS NAME WHEN JUMPER IS INSTALLED ------ -------- ---- ---------------------------- W6 Open ROM C0000 (16K, 32K, 64K ROMs) 1-2 Base C4000 (16K ROMs) 3-4 Address C8000 (16K, 32K ROMs) 1-2, 3-4 CC000 (16K ROMs) 5-6 D0000 (16K, 32K, 64K ROMs) 1-2, 5-6 D4000 (16K ROMs) 3-4*, 5-6* D8000 (16K, 32K ROMs)--factory setting 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 DC000 (16K ROMs) (NOTE: Do not use addresses C0000 or C4000 for Boot ROMs) W6 7-8*,9-10* ROM ROM Disabled -- the factory setting W9 3-4* Size " W10 3-4* " W6 Open ROM 16 Kbytes ROM W9 3-4 Size " W10 3-4 " W6 7-8 ROM 32 Kbytes ROM W9 3-4 Size " W10 1-2 " W6 9-10 ROM 64 Kbytes ROM W9 1-2 Size " W10 1-2 " W7 3-4* RAM 8 Kbytes RAM -- the factory setting W8 3-4* Buffer " W11 2-3* Size " (NOTE: valid 8 Kbyte RAM base addresses are C0000, C2000, C8000, CA000, D0000, D2000, D8000 and DA000.) W7 1-2 RAM 32 Kbytes RAM W8 1-2 Buffer " W11 1-2 Size " (NOTE: valid 32 Kbyte RAM base addresses are C0000, C8000, D0000 and D8000.) I don't know if there is a difference between the WD8003 and the WD8003E, and if this information is helpful, I can finally feel that I have made a contribution to the Linux effort (small though it is).
