! I've never seen SPDT dipswitches in computers.
!
! The closest thing I've seen, I believe, are the dip switches
! in Sears Garage Door Openers and the handheld clicker for them.
!
! They've got two positions + and - but a central neutral
! position IIRC which makes them kind of SPDT with a neutral position.
!
! Hope this is some help.

Well, you could always take a DPDT switch, and wire up only one half of
it....
Try Radio Shack?
