Switch settings for Rally-X.
I have a clone board which has 2 boards connected by 2 IDC cables.
My board has two sets of DIP switches, an 8 way at 11E on the
video/sound board, and 4 way on the CPU board.

The following is presented as is etc. no responsibility accepted or
taken if it fries you, your board, your cat, etc...


From my maintenance manual...

off                                 MAINTENANCE USE ONLY

* 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

I have 2716's on my board, and mine are set as shown.
