* indicates default setting

'Switch 8 is for maintenance use only and should normally be in OFF
position.  This halts the microprocessor. If it is inadvertently
placed in the ON position, a multicoloured pattern appears on the
screen on power up.'

I've no idea what switch 7 does.

The manual also advises:
'Toggle switches are also found at position 4A on the CPU board. These
are for maintenance only and should not be touched.'

Looking at the circuit diagram, we see that:

Switch1: No connection

Switch2: on:  pin 21 of ROMS tied to A12 line.
         Off: pin 21 of ROMS isolated

Switch3: on:  'A' input of '139 ROM decoder tied to A12 line.
         Off: 'A' input of '139 ROM decoder tied high.

Switch4: on:  pin 21 of ROMS tied to +5V
         Off: pin 21 isolated


My guess is that they select 2716 or 2732 ROMS.

2716: switch 3,4 on, switch 2 off
2732: switch 3,4 off, switch 2 on
