I didn't get the dip switch tests running, those are remnants from the
parent program that was originally for Galaga, I modified it to run in
Pacman boards and hadn't fixed the dips. Like I say, it is rough, but
most of it works...<br><br>
Alternate names etc, that is part of the ROM signature, could be tested
if the pads are done, but is it important? <br><br>
Speed mode is part of the signature, could auto-find it, but haven't
gotten that far.<br><br>
Haven't used the frequency counter, don't know how to...<br><br>
