ONFIGURATION
Jumpers V7[1-2] and V7[2-3] are used to route the Interprocessor Communications (IPC)
interrupt signal. Two choices are available: IPC can be carried on the STD Bus signal INTRQ*
(P44) or INTRQ4* (P05). If IPC is not being used, both jumpers can be removed to free up
INTRQ* and INTRQ4* for other purposes.

ONFIGURATION
Jumper V8[5-6] is used to connect the STD Bus NMIRQ* (P46) signal to the CPU NMI input.
When this jumper is removed, NMIRQ* can be used for other purposes.
