As far as autobooting goes, that's
not dependent on the switch setting - it
depends on the console settings as
stored in NVRAM.
I think this is pretty much the same
for all the MicroVAX 3100 systems.
It is also true for all the VAXstation
3100/4000 systems except (as you note)
with the switch down the graphics
head is used as a console and
not MMJ-0.

There should be a little slide switch at the
back. When it is
up it will use that port (3 - with the printer icon)
And what will it do when the
switch is down? Autoboot? I know that
switch from VAXstations to switch the machine from graphics to serial
console. But this machine has no graphics.
