Well, let's try to give an answer.
The SWitch Register is what is says: *switch* register.
So you can read the switches from it, but writing to it is no use.
Don't shoot me if I am mistaken! From memory, the address is 777570.

Hi,
A quick question raised by my ongoing work....
Is it possible to write directly to the "display register" - the one
accessed by one position of the data switch. I think it should be at
memory
location 777570, but I can't get data into it, either using deposit from
the
console, or moving data under program control.
Have I got a fault, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Jim.
