 AFAIK, the A25000 (aka A2052), it's an auto-configuring card with just 2Mb of RAM in it.

 Hardly this is a font of problems.

 The jumpers probably are there for test purposes only (or for disable half of the memory).

-----------

 For the A2091, there a lot of information (taken from The Big Book of Amiga Hardware :
Jumpers

JP1: Memory Size
0K: Set for no memory.
512K: Set for 512K of RAM.
1M: Set for 1M of RAM.
2M: Set for 2M of RAM.

JP2: Autoboot Enable
AUTO: Set to enable autobooting from the A2091.
DIS: Set to disable autobooting from the A2091.

JP3: Interrupt Select
INT6: Select interrupt 6.
INT2: Select interrupt 2.

JP5: Options
Option 1: LUN Enable. When jumpered, enables scanning for Logical
Unit Numbers numbers at each physical SCSI address.
Default value: Off.
Option 2: Time-Out Length. When jumpered, enables longer time-out
for slow-starting drives. Default: Off. (Note: When on,
this jumper disables parity during the message in phase.)
Option 3: Reserved. Factory default: Off.

JP201: Factory use only.

The version 7 ROM fixes the following bugs in the 6.6 ROM
- >1GB HD support
- DMA reselection bug fixed
- disconnect/reconnect performance improved a lot
- Sync messages are handled
- Error handling improved
- Sync problems with Seagate/Syquest fixed
- Removable media recognition fixed
- Slow boot jumper now does a 15 second wait plus 300ms scan

 More complete information can be found in TBBoAH.

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

 BTW: a new program to patch the A2091 appears today on Aminet.

 Try it.

 The obvious link is: this

How much RAM is on the memory card.  You should be aware that you can only put a maximum of 6MB on there if you want to use the 2MB on the SCSI card (which is recommended).


 The A25000 ( =A2052) only have 2Mb in it. You could have more than one of those boards in the system (up to 8Mb, it is the Zorro memory limit). Or three, in the case you have an A2091.

 The A2091 itslef only can carry up to 2Mb too, so the system of Richo have 4Mb of "not-so"-fast RAM.
