The thing that interested me was that in the flyer for Tailgunner II they
claim there's an option for choosing between torpedos and laser (or cannons
and phaser, you get the picture) and since Tailgunner didn't seem to have
that option I assumed different ROMs, but I've been told the ROMs are the
same -- I think Steve O. told me, is that the case Steve?

I have access to a Tailgunner II, but in order to read the ROMs I'd have to
unsolder their lame-o jumpers. (Geeze, we have these ROMs that were burned
to be place in those sockets, but we have a bunch of old Vectorbeam boards,
already wave soldered with sockets only in these spots, hm... I know!
Let's bend up the select pins and then plug the ROMs into these sockets and
jumper the chip selects over to those! -- genuis at work.)
