Does anyone know if the RSVE board is actually completely disabled (as if it wasn't there in the first place) when the computer boots up without the HSMODA drivers (DRVIN.PRG and MFP.PRG in the AUTO folder)?

I'm asking because if I plug something like a C-Lab Export into the serial port (it adds 3 MIDI OUT ports) I'm concerned the RSVE will still take processing power from the CPU and/or the MFP chip which could lead to timing instability and unreliability when using MIDI sequencing software. Is there any truth to this?

Do I need to add an enable/disable switch (see the STe schematic section below) so that I can physically disable it and bring the MFP connections together as the computer originally was set up?
