Not stupid comments.  It's commonly refered to as the "Sex and Free Beer" jumper.

Close. People were changing the 2/8 meg jumper around, and complaining it didn't do anything. I said it doesn't do anything, and in some cases might even cause you problems. That jumper was left over from the original A3000+ prototype, back when there was a chance that there would be a CMOS Alice capable of 8Meg addressing. It was just an idea, I made sure Alice had the right connections. I believe the production Alice may even use those pins for something else. So you leave that jumper alone. I said you shouldn't change any jumper you don't understand, even if it's labelled "Sex and Free Beer".


Now, if you can show us some proof of the magic 8MB chip... :roll:

What about redrumloa's chipset underclock?  Makes the Z3 fly.  Probably as usable and stable as the hack above, but it's safer.
