Subject: WD8003E and WD8003EBT Jumper Settings
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 19:45:29 GMT


I noticed some people asking about jumper settings for the WD8003 ethernet
card and in looking through my stuff, came across the following information
regarding the WD8003E and WD8003EBT. I hope this is helpful to someone out
there.

== EtherCard PLUS (WD8003E) ==
            And
== EtherCard PLUS With Boot ROM Socket (WD8003EBT) ==

  JUMPER PIN FUNCTION SELECTED
  BLOCK NUMBERS NAME WHEN JUMPER IS INSTALLED
  ------ -------- ---- ----------------------------
  W1 1-2 Zero Select zero wait states for optimized
                    Wait operation in a 6MHz AT. (Factory
                           setting is jumper removed, which
                           ensures correct operation in faster
                           AT bus systems.) This jumper is
                           ignored in XT bus systems.

  W1 I/O Base Selects the I/O Base Address
                  Address (Up to 3 jumpers)

         3-4*,5-6*,9-10* 280 -- the factory setting
         5-6, 9-10 2A0
         3-4, 9-10 2C0
         9-10 2E0
         3-4, 5-6, 7-8 300
         5-6, 7-8 320
         3-4, 7-8 340

  W2 1-2 IRQ7 Interrupt request level.
         3-4 IRQ6 Only one jumper may be installed at a
         5-6 IRQ5 time.
         7-8 IRQ4
         9-10* IRQ3 (Factory setting is IRQ3)
         11-12 IRQ2

  W3 1-2* AUI- Ethernet type: pins all jumpered to
         3-4* BNC use J1 BNC connector for this Ethernet
         5-6* cable (* - the factory setting).
         7-8* Jumpers all removed to use J2 AUI
         9-10* connector (thick Ethernet cable).
         11-12*

  W4 1-2 Ethernet Jumper removed for thin Ethernet and
                Version IEEE 802.3/Version 2 thick Ethernet
                           (the factory setting); jumper in-
                           stalled for thick Ethernet Version 1.

  W5 1-2* Segment Selects thin Ethernet segment length:
                 Length jumpered for IEEE 802.3 standard 185m
                           length (*-the factory setting); jumper
                           removed for 300m extended length.

== Additiional Jumpers On ==
== EtherCard PLUS With ROM Socket Only (WD8003EBT) ==

  JUMPER PIN FUNCTION SELECTED
  BLOCK NUMBERS NAME WHEN JUMPER IS INSTALLED
  ------ -------- ---- ----------------------------
  W6 Open ROM C0000 (16K, 32K, 64K ROMs)
          1-2 Base C4000 (16K ROMs)
          3-4 Address C8000 (16K, 32K ROMs)
          1-2, 3-4 CC000 (16K ROMs)
          5-6 D0000 (16K, 32K, 64K ROMs)
          1-2, 5-6 D4000 (16K ROMs)
          3-4*, 5-6* D8000 (16K, 32K ROMs)--factory setting
          1-2, 3-4, 5-6 DC000 (16K ROMs)
                           (NOTE: Do not use addresses C0000
                           or C4000 for Boot ROMs)

  W6 7-8*,9-10* ROM ROM Disabled -- the factory setting
  W9 3-4* Size "
  W10 3-4* "

  W6 Open ROM 16 Kbytes ROM
  W9 3-4 Size "
  W10 3-4 "

  W6 7-8 ROM 32 Kbytes ROM
  W9 3-4 Size "
  W10 1-2 "

  W6 9-10 ROM 64 Kbytes ROM
  W9 1-2 Size "
  W10 1-2 "

  W7 3-4* RAM 8 Kbytes RAM -- the factory setting
  W8 3-4* Buffer "
  W11 2-3* Size " (NOTE: valid 8 Kbyte RAM base
                           addresses are C0000, C2000, C8000,
                           CA000, D0000, D2000, D8000 and DA000.)

  W7 1-2 RAM 32 Kbytes RAM
  W8 1-2 Buffer "
  W11 1-2 Size " (NOTE: valid 32 Kbyte RAM
                           base addresses are C0000, C8000,
                           D0000 and D8000.)

I don't know if there is a difference between the WD8003 and the WD8003E,
and if this information is helpful, I can finally feel that I have made a
contribution to the Linux effort (small though it is). Later.
