	The right 3 switches on the dip switch block (S4-S6) control the ROM address, while the left two switches control the IO port. S3, the third switch from the left, is not explained.		The right 3 switches on the dip switch block (S4-S6) control the ROM address, while the left two switches control the IO port. S3, the third switch from the left, is not explained.

	The manual lists the following values:		The 6 jumper pins at JP1-6 are used to set the IRQ. A vertical pin closing the top and bottom contact selects that IRQ
