The Computer Programming rules on CT LBB 2 1977 page 31 gave a hint that the computer's model number limits the jump rating because of the CPU processing capacity having to run the appropriate jump program and navigation program at the same time.

Technically, CT LBB 3's Technological Level chart provides the availability for the CT LBB 2 computers and jump drives.
