[En-Nut-Discussion] Ethernut 1.3H External RAM problem

[Ayman Hendawy]

Dear Oli,

I hope to get your reply on my previous e-mail,

I just need to add that when I run the test code"
testrtl10.zip<http://www.ethernut.de/en/hardware/enut1/testrtl10.zip>
",
I get an error message of "104 Bad jumper mode", I don't know what does it
mean or if my Ethernet port is working probably or not, it seam not.

Thanks
