Does somebody know the use of each DIP switch that can be found on the One Chip MSX?

There is a page on the manual that talks about it, but it's not very clear for me

Is the dip no. 6 hot-flippable? Similar to the good-old 7.16MHz extensions?

Then is possible to use a normal RGB(SCART) CRT monitor with OCM.
I didn't know this possibility. For me it was obligatory but I don't remember any document explaining this feature. I donīt understand why.

I know this thread is a bit old, but how do you activate any dip switch in the OCM? I only know to change the video one pushing Print Screen.

Mon dieu! I thought it was a strange port

Well, unfortunately, yesterday I left the DC Adapter at my mother's home, so I will use again the OCM next thursday or friday.

Yours,
