Two MiniPoV2 questions

Post by chaostic »

Okay, I found the schematic for the minipov2 (Hidden in plain sight I see) and have one question on that. Whats the purpose of jumper 1 on the schematic. All it does is create a short between vcc and ground, which I know is a bad thing. Is it just an oversight on the schematic?

And the purpose of the 2 sided pcb, just for the parallel port you use, or to also make it even easier for beginners? Or did it just not cost extra to make it two sided?
