I can see it now--the front panel of the engine control computer has a
line of spst switches (in groups of 3, extra credit for being under 50 and
knowing why the switches are in groups of 3). The switches are made by
Lucas, and tend to flicker when on and short when off, making programming
somewhat hit or miss...
