I've upload a new beta. It uses e_zxi_010 to enable Timex graphics then uses ports 0x9FFD and 0xFF as you suggested.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll post a new build once I've retested everything.
According to https://worldofspectrum.org/faq/reference/tmxreference.htm bit 7 controls which memory bank is used. However it's only used to to support cartridges on the TS2068. Bit 6 disables interrupts.
