I think you should try the switch anyway. Even though your box
hasn't got any graphics hardware i think the switch should be in the
"up" position. I know this is true on the VAXStations, and as far as i
know the hardware isn't that much different on the MicroVAX 3100/10.
I could be wrong though... :-)
