i went back to my friend, and he says that the dip switches are there so
that if you get a memory board that plugs in the side that expects to be
in a certain location, you can 'move' the insider ram to another
non-conflicting location using the dip switches.

i didn't know that autoconfig meant that the memory board was supposed to
dectect another board at the same memory location and relocate itself if
necesssary to avoid conflicts. i thought autoconfig meant that the memory
board would tell the amiga at boot up time how much ram is on the board,
and where it is found.

i haven't read the manual for the insider, i have just asked some questions
of the guy who owns it. if having dip switches means that the board doesn't
autoconfig, then both he and i don't know what is meant by autoconfig.
