- The sq07.ic108 ROM came from a bootleg where the 8751 MCU was replaced by an
8031 MCU plus an external ROM (i.e. the sqixb1 romset). The 8031 ROM was bad
(bit 3 was stuck high). It was originally recovered by carefully checking
- the disassembly, and this repair was later verified from another dump to be
- correct. The majority of the bootleg 8031 MCU code matches the decapped

- derived from code dumped from an original Taito b03__03.l2 8751 MCU somehow.

The bootleg MCU code is different from the original b03__03.l2 MCU since
an 8031 when running in external ROM mode cannot use ports 0 or 2, hence
the code was extensively patched by the bootleggers to avoid use of those
