(		MEMORY JUMPERS		)	(Net)	(Monitor)

If the seventh jumper ("EXTXUR") is in place, then the machine is
configured for Thicknet.  Otherwise, it's configured for Thinnet.  These
jumpers are located (if you've looking at the board with the external
connectors facing you) to the left of center about 10-12 inches back.
They're pretty easy to spot, 'cause they're the only jumpers back there.
