One thing other Spirit Inboard owners might want to try when connecting the
jumpers is soldering two little pins to the top of the daughterboard where
the jumpers connect (ie.  on the solder side of the pins you are supposed
to connect the jumpers to ).  This makes it _Very_ easy to attach them.
It is a pain in the ass to attach those jumpers down under the board, and
when you are doing it over and over ( like, say, while testing a LUCAS
board ) it gets quite frustrating.

Don't solder the jumpers right on.  Makes for a rough time taking it out.

Just something I thought of while in a soldering frenzy one day.... :-)
Oh, ya, this would probably void your warranty! :-) :-) :^)
