I would like to clarify a few things. I guess there are a few 6 ROM versions of the Tempest boards. I was = under the impression that this revision had the implosion issue. Am I = correct to assume this is not specific to the 6 ROM version? (I gather I = can answer my own question due to the fact that my boardset has the 12 = 2516's on the board). If so, when you write "ROM swap", I can simply find v3 of the Tempest = ROMS, burn them to 2716's and I am on my way to two player bliss?
