G'day folks,

Based on your description of a single pin pulled out of the socket, I'd
guess Warrior based on my experience. However, I haven't had as much
exposure to Speed Freak as I'd like.

Get the part number off of the mother board.....if it has a pac-man like
symbol on it (after the 1081?), then you have a later revision of the
Vectorbeam motherboard and I can guarantee it's a Warrior.

ps - I think you should see the JMI interrupt wiring mod added across
the top of the board for Warrior.

pps - All Cinematronics (Star Hawk, Space Wars) and Vectorbeam (Warrior,
Speed Freak and Space Wars) games have their two masked ROMS configured
like you describe. As I rememberf Tail Gunner has four masked ROMs?
