Roadrunner AM-174 Board Configuration

The illustration below shows the AM-174 board configured as shipped by Alpha Micro. The only user-
configurable jumpers on this board are the JP11, JP12, and JP13 memory configuration jumpers. These
jumpers only need to be reconfigured if you change the amount of memory installed in your computer.
All other jumpers on the board should be left in their factory-configured positions. All possible
configurations for the memory jumpers are shown in the illustration.
