 I don't think any real information is available. There is/was alot of useful
 information handed out at DevCon, but that covered the Alpha software that
 was also handed out.

 Well the mouse driver has already been written (I don't know if I can say
 when & where youll see it - ill ask though!).

 As for a clock setter - I wrote one of those a while back. I have not (and
 will not) released it because it is going to get broken with the next rev
 of PC windows software.

 I think that jumper is at the same place on all 2 layer 2000's (US version).
 If your facing the front of the machine, its just to the right of the cable
 connector for the floppy drive cable. (Under the cable)
