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.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.  :)
