I bought a new processor for my Glue and White G3 (a G4) and I need some mini jupmers so I can set the speed... and I can't get these things anywhere! CompUSA directed me to standard jumpers, I was lucky to find a person to ask. I went to some little shops and all they had were normal ones as well. Does anyone have some of these they can send me?
I need about 8 or so, 10 would be good.

Not sure exactly what you need....are they smaller versions of the jumpers used to set hard drives to master/slave? If so, I'm sure I have 8 or 10 laying around.

let me know if that's what you're looking for...

Thier smaller than a standard jumper, they are what some (or all?) SCSI drives user for jumpers. Also what the Blue and White G3 uses to set the bus and processor speed

If they are just straight jumpers you can either just put a bit of wire and touch the contacts. Or you can do some solder bridges.

You could have just re-arranged the metal jumpers held in the plastic block (they can be easily removed with a pin and inserted in a different hole).
