4. Links and Options

There are many different ways in which you can configure the SCPC88; they are selected by jumpering the links on the board. It is assumed in the following description that you are looking at the component side of the board, with the 64-way bus connector to the right.

Note:

+ indicates the standard link option, as supplied.
* indicates a signal is active low.

Link positions
