Section on jumper types
This needs a section on jumper types (ie 2.54mm vs 2.00mm, etc). Myrdred 21:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

In all the years I've worked with computer equipment, I have never heard the phrase "strapping" used to describe setting jumpers. I've only heard "jumpering". I am not going to remove the text from the article, but I am asking: does anyone have a cite for this? --Flewellyn 07:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
