Hi folks,

    In my IIe reconditioning project, I've come across two different
80col cards.. an earlier and larger card with about 10 chips and a
jumper; and a tiny later card of 4 chips.

    Are these two cards functionally identical, and if so, why does
the earlier one have a jumper to enable double hi-res?    Is one more
desirable in use than the other?

They are functionally identical (except for the jumper  ;-), reflecting
the increasing density of DRAMs during the period of manufacture.

The jumper was deleted because by that time, everyone left it on.  ;-)
