Jumpers on 122 key Model F
« on: Thu, 01 August 2013, 08:07:58 »
Do the jumpers on an old 122 key model F have any current usefulness.  I have a couple and this is the only one with the jumpers, or do the others just have them inside. the case?

One or two of the ones I bought came with the DIP switches. I disconnected them but kept them in place because they look cool.

On one of my earliest conversions I messed around with a single jumper on the controller (I believe I discussed this in my guide) but after that the later ones seemed to work properly without any fuss. Perhaps Soarer refined his software to accommodate more variations.

My 6110668 has jumpers and works well with soarer's teensy converter. I have disconnected the jumpers.

I believe they are used to set the keyboard ID.

Thanks,
I haven't moved any of the jumper's.  Set the way they currently are the board works with Soarer's converter.  The extra ting on the keys does seem to annoy the dog though.  :)
