If someone on the net can help me with info on this card, I'd sure
appreciate it.  I purchased a batch of cards marked
"WD8000SL  ASSY 61-600026" at the top, the boards are only about 2/3
the height and half the length of a full-size IBM PC interface board,
and almost the whole board was soldered using surface-mount devices.
Jumper block W2 has 8 pins, W4 has 8 pins, W1 has 16 pins, W3
has 12 pins, W5 has 2 pins, and W6 has 2 pins.

A Western Digital person I spoke with a while back said he couldn't
find any documents for this specific board.  I would like to find out
what jumper settings set I/O port numbers, interrupt requests, and
shared RAM addresses for this board.  Western Digital's StarTest program
works with the boards, but I haven't been able to determine much from
it other than the jumper settings for various interrupt requests.


Any help will be gratefully received.
