I've run through the manual for a Saturn 64/128 board (essentially a 32k
board with extra banks). There is lots of discussion on the utility
programs that you need to support it under Dos 3.2/3.3, and a technical
dissertation on peeking and poking your way to heightened productivity,
but I can't find any references to the red switch.

Maybe it only appeared on the early models...

BTW it mentions 22 times that you need to have a minimum of 48k RAM to
run and you must have the suite of utilities provided (MoveDOS,
RAMExpand, DOS Pseudo-Disk, Pascal Pseudo Disk and CP/M Pseudo Disk).

cheers,
