How about this, jumpers every where as normal, but one jumper sets the
board as either "jumperless" or what ever the jumpers are set at.  Set
the default as jumperless for the dummies, us who know better only have
one more jumper to set, I can hack that, (if only the SB PnP cards had
the option).

By the way, as with SB cards, once the new type appears the old dies,
just try and buy a new non PnP SB16,  soon after this is introduced (if
it is), you won't have the choice either.

Bye
