Blue & White CPU jumpers- Where to buy?

Posted by: mraroid on 2019-01-26 09:23:30 Hello....   I have posted a photo of the jumper settings of my Yikes! motherboard.  I believe they are the same for a G3 Blue & White.The top of the photo is the inside of the motherboard and the bottom of the photo is the outside of the motherboard.   I am using the chart here:   https://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=zif/bwjumpers.html   If I am reading the jumpers correctly, the options are set for a 350Mhz processor.  Is this correct?   Where can I buy the little jumper pins I see in this jumper block?  My CPU is 500Mhz and I need to change it.   Thanks

If you want some Mac-specific guidance, Operator Headgap has a page on jumpers that they advertise on their front page; http://drivejumper.com http://stn2.headgap.com/resale/FMPro?-token=14088865&-db=ProductsC.fp3&-lay=WEB&-format=items.htm&-sortfield=SortID&-Max=40&category=jumpers&-find It's not necessary to get them from there. You don't need to get any special Mac jumpers, though. They're... jumpers. Same ones used for SCSI drives, PCI/Nubus cards, you name it. You could waltz into Fry's or call up some other big box store that has them for sale.
