The addressing is changed by a jumper. The interrupt line must be done with
a jumper wire. I soldered on about a foot of wire wrap wire and placed a
small piece of non-conducting tape over the edge connector at the
appropriate place. This will allow me to return the board to it's original
condition simply by removing tape and snipping the wire. 

The wire goes to another card which has a jumper for the correct interrupt
and is wire wrapped onto the post.
