Gee whiz, I'm using a CMS card on a IIgs and I have five partitions. I
have the latest version, not sure of the ROM version but the
significant difference is that the only jumper that does anything is
the set closest to the front and towards the top. This jumper controls
the delay time between power up and accessing the HD. I hear earlier
versions controlled all sorts of stuff with the other jumpers but all
that has been relagated to the code on mine.
