Ideally, you want to be able to fully configure a piece of hardware when you're stuck on an island with it (without Internet access, of course). That can involve jumpers properly marked on the silk screen, switches, or software configuration. Of course, if you need a manual to handle the jumperless configuration, or if it doesn't work reliably, it defeats the purpose... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pascal Dornier pdornier@best.com http://www.best.com/~pdornier Your Spec + PC Engines = Custom Embedded PC Hardware --------------------------------------------------------------------
