For my 1040STe, I didn't see any jumpers anywhere. Popped in 4 meg of SIMMs and turned it on, presto, 4160STe.

I bought 1Mx8 80ns, since they were pretty cheap. (I saw some 100ns for sale, but no one even seems to sell 120ns or slower.) As for cost, in the US the 9bit SIMMs tend to be 25% more expensive than the 8bit ones. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan Flame all you want - we'll take more.
