Looking at my XT Technical Reference, it looks like J1 disconnects a signal
going to bus signal B08.  B08 is considered "reserved" except on slot J8,
where it is "*CARDSLCTD".  This signal is described as intended for indicating
that slot J8 was in use, but also mentions that the system board does not
use this signal.
 
The J1 signal generated is the NAND of IOR and ENABLE.
 
Looking at my AT Technical Reference, it looks like B08 has been changed
to "0WS"!!  0WS is a Zero Wait States signal for fast devices or memory.
