M100 memory card:
=================
The M100 memory card can hold 1MB or 2MB. The first MB is usually soldered
on the board. This is the card that was most commonly used by CompuAdd.
NOTE: All of the memory on the M100 must be static column DRAM (as opposed
to page mode DRAM) in order for the 2M-08, or 4M-08 to operate.
There is a row of nine (9) jumper pins in the lower left corner of the
M100 memory card. They should be positioned as follows:
1MB Pin 2-3, Pin 4-5, Pin 7-8
2MB Pin 1-2, Pin 4-5, Pin 7-8
4MB Pin 1-2, Pin 4-5, Pin 7-8 (with 2M-08)
6MB Pin 1-2, Pin 4-5, Pin 7-8 (with 4M-08)
10MB Pin 1-2, Pin 4-5, Pin 7-8 (with 4M-08)

M200 memory card:
=================
The M200 memory card can hold 4MB or 8MB using 1Mx1 DRAM. The top two rows
of chips make up bank 0, and the bottow two rows make up bank 1.
There is a set of five (5) two-pin jumpers in the lower left corner of the
M200 memory card. They should be set as follows:
W1 W2 W3 W4 W5
4MB ON ON OFF OFF OFF
8MB OFF ON OFF OFF OFF
12MB OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF (with 4M-08)
16MB OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF (with 4M-08)

M300 memory card:
=================
The M300 memory card can hold 1MB, 2MB, or 6MB. Each of the first two MB
is made up of four (4) 256Kx1, and eight (8) 256Kx4 chips. The lower
four rows of chips hold 1Mx1 chips, and must be filled in completely. It
is not possible to partially fill the lower bank of memory.
There is a bank of eight (8) switches in the upper left corner of the
M300 memory card. They should be set as follows:
SW1.1 SW1.2 SW1.3 SW1.4 SW1.5 SW1.6 SW1.7 SW1.8

M100C memory card:
==================
The M100C memory card can hold 1MB or 2MB. It has an Austek cache
controller in the lower left corner of the card. It accommodates either
the 2M-08, or the 4M-08.
NOTE: Static column DRAM (as opposed to page mode DRAM) is recommended when
using either the 2M-08, or the 4M-08.
There are two jumpers on the M100C memory card. W1 is in the upper left
corner, and W3 is in the lower left corner. They should be set as follows:
W1 W3
1MB Pin 1-2 ON
2MB Pin 2-3 ON
4MB Pin 2-3 ON (with 2M-08)
6MB Pin 2-3 ON (with 4M-08)
10MB Pin 2-3 ON (with 4M-08)

M400C memory card:
==================
The M400C memory card can hold 4MB or 8MB. It has an Austek cache
controller in the lower left corner. The M400C cannot accommodate either
of the memory expansion cards, as it has no connectors.
There are two jumpers on the M400C memory card. W1 is in the upper left
corner, and W3 is in the lower left corner. They should be set as follows:
W1 W3
4MB Pin 1-2 ON
8MB Pin 2-3 ON

2M-08 memory expansion board:
=============================
The 2M-08 provides an additional 2MB, and is compatible with the M100, and
M100C memory cards. It is not compatible with the M200, the M300, or the
M400C. The 2M-08 comes populated, and has no jumpers or switches to set.
4M-08 memory expansion board:
=============================
The 4M-08 provides an additional 4MB (expandable to 8MB) for the M100, M200,
M300, and M100C memory cards. It is not compatible with the M400C. There
is a bank of four (4) switches on the card. The settings differ for each
of the main memory boards.
