The 68681 Board
Jumpers
 
Default settings:
IC2 = MC68681 place Jumpers as shown in RED below
IC2 = XR68C681 place Jumpers as shown in RED & YELLOW below
 
J1 U1PWR - USB1 Power
 
This Jumper determines if 5V power for the whole system is derived from the host system attached to USB1.
 
J1 open - USB power disabled
J1 short - USB power enabled
 
J2 U2PWR - USB2 Power
 
This Jumper determines if 5V power for the whole system is derived from the host system attached to USB2.
 
J2 open - USB power disabled
J2 short - USB power enabled
 
Note:

Modern computer USB ports supply 5V DC and typically allow a maximum current draw of 500mA which means the maximum power output is only 2.5 Watts. If you have a large Mega-68000 Computer System DO NOT attempt to power it via USB - leave J1 and J2 open and use an external power supply.

 
JB1 STXSF - Serial TX & Software Features
 
The following JB1 links control serial data transmission from the board:
 
1-2 short USB1 (CON) TX enabled
3-4 short USB2 (AUX) TX enabled
 
The remaining JB1 links control software features within System ROM V2.0x as follows:
 
5-6 short 115K baud DUART (XR68C681) support enabled
7-8 short N/A
9-10 short ROM diagnostics (Slow Boot) enabled
11-12 short ACRTC graphics test enabled
 
JB2 & JB3
 
These Jumper Blocks determine where the RS-232 TX, RX, & Flow Control signals go on the SER1 CON Port.
Refer to the schematic for more detail.
 
Note:
When using USB1 these Jumper Blocks serve no purpose.
 
JB4 & JB5
 
These Jumper Blocks determine where the RS-232 TX, RX, & Flow Control signals go on the SER2 AUX Port.
Refer to the schematic for more detail.
 
Note:
When using USB2 these Jumper Blocks serve no purpose.
