Hans,

Unfortunately the reverse isn't true. While the wires are present, the
ROS modules are missing. Trying to close the wires (simulating a
language switch) and hitting RESTART only result in booting BASIC.

I read on a forum that someone did what you suggested on an APL-only
machine and it gave them BASIC capability as well.
