It is worth noting here that there is one other jump which needs to be performed if a board from a game with 6 digit scoring is being installed in one with 7 digit scoring – pin 12 of U22 to pin 9 of connector J4. This jumper from the connector to the nearby pad completes this jump. This is another factory installed jumper wire required to support the 7 digit displays.

	It is worth noting here that there is one other jump which needs to be performed if you’re taking a board from a game with 6 digit scoring and installing it in one with 7 digit scoring – pin 12 of U22 to pin 9 of connector J4. You see in the adjacent photo, this jumper from the connector to the nearby pad completes this jump. This is another factory installed jumper wire. While this isn't directly related to the ROM, it is a requirement to support the 7 digit displays.
