The 40/80 column switch on the //c does not activate anything.  It's just
a switch that can be read by software, and it's up to the software to
decide what to do with the setting.

As far as I know, it's like the human appendix.  No software I ever came
across referenced that switch for anything.  The //c+ later replaced that
switch with an audio volume slider.
