Sorry for my bad english, i actually mean that after setting jumper
block to "terminal", what is the correct dip switches setting after
that? Is it the same as that documented for "modem"?

Right now, my jumper block is pointing at "terminal" but i am not sure
how to configure the dip switches to match "terminal" setting.

Also, i try to play with jumper block, it's very difficult to pull it
out. Is there any trick??

Could you please tell me what the command to format blank disk is? I
recall seeing only "INIT HELLO" in faq.

Thank you,
