Essentially, it's a bridge to complete a connection on the N64. You
replaced it when you upgraded your N64 with the Expansion Pak. I keep 'em
when I find them about, never know when you'll find an N64 without a Jumper
Pak or an Expansion Pak.

It's a terminator for the RAMBus memory bus when you don't have the
expansion memory installed. One or the other is required to be inserted
into the slot for proper operation.
