Hard to say as you can't really see which pins the wires connect to, and you can't see what's happening at the other ends of the wires.

The pictures looks like yellow connects to pin 26 and white to 28, which are both part of the 16 bit data bus.  Doesn't really make any sense.

If you can list which wires connect to which CIA pins and what's happening at the other end, i.e. which wires get joined when the switch is in either position, I might be able to give some suggestions what it's for.


A tip for taking photos when your camera isn't so flash or your photography skills are just crap (like mine) is to use a flatbed scanner.  Produces surprisingly good results.
A bit tricky when you're trying to take a "photo" of something big like a computer though :-)

Helps a little bit, but it's not obvious what's happening between the two sockets.
i.e. the white wire is on the pin on top of the green wire; are these two wires electrically connected together, or is there something between the top and bottom socket pins??
