Re: Asteroids in Asteroids Deluxe cabinet & goofy monitorresponse

Since both Asteroids boards did it and worked fine in an Asteroids
cabinet, I'm more inclined to think the outputs just aren't putting out
what the monitor in the Asteroids Deluxe cabaret is expecting, so
the center of the picture drops out. The sound on both games is
correct, so I don't think the AR issues applies to me.

I've thought about doing the PROM option, if the multi-game isn't
going to come around for a while, but need more info beyond what's
in that doc.
