Also note that if you are booting via GS/OS and have ZipInit installed
(supplied with the ZIP), then it overrides the switch settings.  The
INIT is configured using the ZipGS.Sys16 application supplied with the
ZIP.

The two CDAs, the Control Panel and ZIPPY only affect the current
settings, not the settings saved by the INIT.
