The MPI slot setting can indeed be changed with software. Location $FF7F
controls this. The values are $00, $11, $22, and $33 to set the slot to 1
to 4. You also can set the two nybbles separately, though my memory is a
bit hazy on what each does. One hex digit (set to 0-3) selects which slot
contains the ROM that is looked at. The other selects what the SCS line
controls, I think, so that if you are doing pokes that affect the hardware
of a cartridge in one of the slots, like an RS232 Pak, that slot could be a
different one than the one that the ROM is being read from if you set $FF7F
correctly.
