	Actually, there was always the "programmer switch"; that little
piece of plastic that you inserted into into the cooling slots in the
lower rear of the left side. Always did the job for me.
	I was ticked off when I upgraded to the 512K "Fat Mac" and my
dealer forced an extra trip into town to get my switch back. Then, when I
went to my Plus upgrade and the switch didn't fit quite right any more and
had to pulled out after pressing.
	I still use mine when the system hangs.
