You got it right. 2-3 for J1/J2 for 1M, 1-2 for 4M. An ohm-meter would also
have allowed you to verify this.

Yes, this is an error in the comment part of the pal - it caught Bruce out
originally :-) and then I never got around to correcting it.

Regarding the manual, I did give a few people a copy of the original draft
for comment and hoped their feedback was enough. Unfortunately things that
are obvious to some aren't to others. I will add these corrections into it,
and at least the next set of boards that go out (we are waiting for the
CPU/FPU/ICU chipsets to be shipped to us) will have a bit more info with
them.

Since Bruce wrote the monitor we never planned to do a manual for it. Maybe
if someone out there feels it would be useful... (they could do it)

best regards,
