On the Archimedes motherboard there are a number of links, consisting of
small plastic jumpers which bridge two upright metal pins.  These can be
set (jumper attached) or unset (jumper removed).  Sometimes there are 3
vertical pins, and the jumper can bridge the middle pin to either of the
other two (but not both at once).  Jumpers are identified by the letter
J followed by a number - this will be printed onto the PCB next to each
jumper.  So, if you want to swap link 3 you have to take the lid off your
machine, and find J3.  If it's a two-pin link, and it's currently set,
then remove the jumper.  If it's two-pin and unset, then obtain a jumper
and attach it.  If it's a three-pin link, then swap the position of the
jumper.

Hope that helps

Bob
