But it specifies annunciator 0, which I have used for lots of different
things but never noticed any effect on graphics.  (But then, I don't use
lo-res graphics or double lo-res graphics much at all.)

I'm not aware of *any* connection between AN0 and the Apple video
circuits, so this seems unlikely.

It is described as a color/monochrome switch, which might just be
someone's mod, not standard equipment.
