:address jumpers, but I have no clue for the rest (labelled as:
:CF0/CF1/CF2 and PEN/DIAG).

	I don't have experience with the 2060S specifically, but it's real
similar to the 2150S. The CF0-2 jumpers set buffer disconnect size. The 
default is to have CF0 and CF2 installed. Here's a table:

Buffer Size:	2K	4K	6K	8K	12K	16K	24K	32K
Jumper:     	===	===	===	===	===	===	===	===
CF2        					 X	 X	 X	 X
CF1         			 X	 X			 X	 X
CF0         		 X		 X		 X		 X

PEN is Parity Enable, DIAG is Diagnostic.

:Any information (even the phone # of Archive) will be greatly appreciated!
