This kind of swith seems to be common, oddly enough...I've got an ISA
Speed switch in my Dell, and there's those 2 "Hammer-Fire Timing"
switches in the ImageWriter II...According to the manuals, none of
these switches are meant to be switched!  These ImageWriter II
switches are even broken off, so you *can't* flip 'em!
