I use 0x200 as the base address on my card, but shorting pins labeled A9.
If you have a game card, it will conflict and you might try address
0x300 by shorting A9 and A8.  In general, you can figure out the
correspondance between addresses and jumper settings.  If you let A9 be
the value 1 when shorted or 0 when open, the base I/O address in binary
is simply:     A9 A8 A7 A6 A5 A4 A3 0 0 0 

Other important settings are on jumpers near the edge connector for
selecting the interrupt and DMA channels.  I am using IRQ3 (the jumper
labeled "234567" with jumper on position labeled "3") and DMA channel 1  
(jumper labeld "123123" with jumpers on both positions labeld "1").
If you are using the Archive FASTAPE software, be sure to run the
FTINSTAL program to configure the software and tell it your base I/O
address, interrupt, and DMA channel.
