  040 Clock Jumper (25Mhz versus 33Mhz)

  The position that the clock jumper is set in depends upon  a couple of
  factors.  Originally  all  clock jumpers for  68040 @ 25Mhz SPUs  were
  set to the 33Mhz position to allow proper memory - CPU chip operation.

  The memory controller  chip code has been  modified to allow the 68040
  processor to operate with the clock jumper in the designed position.

   Please follow the matrix below:

        SPU     New Board       Generic Exchange    Memory Controller
                                      Board          Chip Location
        375     98574-63510        98574-69510        U21
        380     98574-63511        98574-69510        U21
        400t    A1630-66001        A1630-69001        U14
        425t    A1630-66013        A1630-69001        U14
        400s    A1421-63510        A1421-69510        U56
        425s    A1421-63513        A1421-69510        U56

   If the label on the chip is 1LY3-0302, put clock jumper to 33Mhz.

   If the label on the chip is 1LY3-0304, put clock jumper to 25Mhz
   for 040 CPU's running at 25Mhz.
--

33Mhz machines will be in the 33 position.

I have the 1LY3-0302 chips, but haven't noticed any difference between the 33 and the 25 jumper settings. Supposedly it adds a wait-state if it's in 33 MHz mode, but maybe my benchmark programs fit into the L1 cache (doubtful).
