Asteroids ROM readme discrepancies

Gang,

I downloaded the Asteroids rom readme file from gamearchive, but the
information in the document didn't jive with what I found on my board.
For example, the file shows:

ROM 035145.02 at location J2 with a checksum of 2f84

I pulled:
ROM 035145.02 out of location E/F2 and read a checksum of 31cc

The readme shows the rom I pulled out as being an 035145-01 in J2.

Unless they're talking about another rev board (mine is -5), it appears
the board locations may be reversed in the file. IIRC the earlier rev
boards had completely different locations (not simply reversed).

If someone has a board with original roms (preferably working) handy,
if you could confirm or deny this being an issue...

At the very least, if you use the rom readme information, be warned there may
be an issue, until we can update it or dispell the rumor.
