The original CMD ramlinks did not have any Jumper cables. I had the original one and Maurice was surprised when he told me to connect the jumpercables which were necessary for "timeing" control on subsequent models of RamLinks". Later I got one of the subsequent versions of ramlink and sure enuff they had the timer 2 wire cables on them. Why this was necessary I know not cause my original one never had any problems on timeing the 128. Joe

They were later added after Maurice took control of the product. They were for timeing control which apparently was unneccessary on the old versions. Joe

The original ramlinks produced by CMD has no jumper cables and none were needed. Only later on they appeared to affect the timeing speed. I have both the original and the later version from Maurice.
