The jumpers don't seem to matter.  I got mine as a
4MB card, popped 4 more 1MB SIMMs in and got
8MB.

One thing to remember about the Sirius if you are
using it in a ROM 3.  You still need to populate it
with 8MB to get eight working megabytes even
though you'd think you need only 7MB since there
is 1MB on the motherboard.  If you don't you will
get errors.

I populated it with 8MB on my ROM 3 and it
worked flawlessly until I stopped using my IIGS.
