If this card is like your accelerator card, jumper is for rom mapping, i think, if this is your question.

this my Falcon 1240 with 040/25 :) I need jumper confugrations and manual :confused:
jumper for rom-mapping ? no need .
It also includes a MapROM feature which uses the MMU to shadow the Kickstart into Fast RAM for improved performance. This feature was enabled regardless and so it's not easy to use the MMU for other tasks.

This site has a bit more info than the Amiga Hardware Database - but basically just restates what you have already said:

You may want to find another accelerator....

Hi, I have exactly the same board, revision 3. I ´ve bought it second hand, it came with no manual. I will apreciate any finding you make.
By the way, you should know that ity supports 128mb ram simms (it requires for that the falconpatch program on Aminet) and it is a simple plugin and jumper change for upgrading it to a 68060 at 50 mhz (does not require a rom change). I never knew which jumpers had to be tweaked. Hopefully you will find them.
Do you have the Scsi option?

I ve always thought on upgrading it to a full 68060 by using two 68040 sockets pluged together with the VCC+ & GND pins hacked to 3.3volts of an AT/ATX PSU, but never really had the time or better the two 68040/60 sockets that i needed.

Hope you share whatever you may find

Good luck!
