pat,

  I have the DEC Microcomputer Processor handbook (1979/1980) and it has a
complete chapter on the 11/23 CPU. There's a section in that that describes
the Floating Point Option and another sewction that describes the
configuration setting. But there's nothing in either section that indicates
that any jumpers have to be set for the FP option. There's also a chapter
on Floating Point operation but it only describes the operands and such.
There's no indication in this book that you need to do anything after
installing the FP option.
