I think it would only cause a problem if you had an auto-starting Rompack
like a game in a slot other than the one selected by the selector switch.
The cartridge in the selected slot, if any, would try to start up.  I might
be misremembering about this.  (The auto-start is easy to defeat by taping
over a pin in any case.)
