    STARFORCE - 18 chip version

These ROMS are from my two-layer 'Star Force' PCB. The board is marked
'ABLE CORP. LTD' and has a sticker 'A-28964'. I am not sure if this board
is a pirate or some sort of 'official' Tehkan approved copy. It is certainly
*far* better designed than the original three-layer board with lots of 
chips on spindly legs !

It seems to work fine with the original RAT file - however, it is
difficult to tell if all the ROMS are okay in later levels ! Please let
me know if you come across any corrupt graphics.


The dips do not appear to be implemented yet, but here are the settings for
future reference:

This rom version use SEGA'S Z80 crypted CPU ref 315-5069

Graphics are same excepted size of the roms, sound is a little bit different
(referring to romident)

There is also a Bprom, this Bprom is same as the one used in Senjyo (Tehkan)
This is a 32x8 Bprom
