If you select different TOS version, that will also force a compatible
machine type, i.e. automatically set appropriate CPU options.  DSP
will be used only for Falcon type, 32-bit addressing is relevant only
for 030+ and most programs don't care existence of FPU.

I.e. you may get by just by selecting TOS (unless it's EmuTOS which
supports everything :-)).

I usually set it from command line, so path often is still in my
command line history i.e. I type for example ^R+"tos4" and shell
completes rest.
