MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES

The BIOS address settings range is C800 - E000 and is selected with JP12-19 using a binary translation. JP12 (LSB) and JP19 (MSB) are internal and assumed to be 0 and 1 respectively. JP13 - JP18 are set: pins 1-2 closed= 1; pins 2-3 closed= 0. Default is C8000:

In addition to serving as the 2 1 place in the BIOS address selection, JP13 is also used to determine PROM size (8KB or 16KB). Due to the pin assignment a PROM cannot have an address with a 1 in the 2 1 place (such as 110001 1 0) and be 16KB (see above).
