You will learn shortly how to set these jumpers for your specific system setup. 

Configuring the Interface 

In  order  to  insure  that  your  miniFLASH  matches  your  Color  Computer  system,  it  is  important  to  set 
the state of the jumpers to reflect the proper base address as well as FBSR reset behavior. 

Setting the Base Address 

As  shipped,  the  interface’s  base  address  is  set  up  at  a  default  of  $FF59.   We  recommend  keeping 
this setting if possible.  In order to this, you must verify that no other devices in your system conflict 
with this address allocation. 
 
If  you  do  have  a  conflict  then  a  base  address  must  be  selected  where  there  are  no  conflicts.    The 
interface allows a base address selection of $FF49, $FF59, $FF69 and $FF79.  Jumper pairs 5-6, 7-8 
and 9-10 allow you to select one of these four base addresses. 
 
The following table shows how to set the jumper shunts based on the desired base address.  Please 
note that when a jumper shunt is OFF, the corresponding bit is SET:
