Our mailer couldn't handle your path; pardon the post...

First of all, you need the SuperDisk - Diagnostics diskette, or you may
not be able to configure at all (especially for non-default values).
Anyway...

W1 selects i/o base [pinsets 4-10] and wait states [pinset 2].  For 
0x280, put jumpers on pinsets 4, 6, and 10.  For 0x2A0, put jumpers 
on 6 and 10.  Add a jumper to pinset 2 if running in a 6MHz IBM AT.

W2 selects IRQ.  Jumper on 11 for IRQ2, 9 for IRQ3, 7 for IRQ4, 5 for
IRQ5, 3 for IRQ6, 1 for IRQ7.

W3 is the thin/thick jumper.  Remove the jumper for standard (thick).

W4 is for version.  Add a jumper for Ethernet version 1.

W5 is for optional 300-meter no-repeater thin ethernet (vs. standard
thin ethernet).  Remove jumper for 300-meter.

RAM buffer address is set only via software.  The software also makes
you re-enter IRQ (it wants to go back to the default of '3').
