My motherboard is very old, a 486 DLC, and it doesn't even have one
built in controler card, much less two.  Anyway, I'm new to all this and
my question was mostly if it was simply a matter of jumpering the second
card correctly.  I'm also doing this cheap with used parts, so I
probably won't get a manual with the second controller card.  What other
things might a controler card be jumpered to do?

TIA
