I have the following jumpers on my FP Mini: MWRT -shorted PROT - open UNPROT ON -shorted UNPROT OFF - open
These are the jumpers along the bottom of the board. With this configuration I am not able to use the Deposit toggle switch to change the contents of RAM. However just for fun I changed the UNPROT jumpers so that UNPROT ON is open and UNPROT OFF is shorted. With this configuration I was able to use the Deposit toggle switch to change RAM memory. Now I am using Josh's 8080 board so when I reset the first 32K is ROM, so I needed to set memory above that to check the Deposit function. Anyway if any of you want to try this setting let me know what happens.
