Lucked out with Andy finding a pcb since he is good at getting the roms and proms preserved.

Yep. Someone will need to find some way of comparing data if even possible to see if there could be any difference within the dumped roms. I am going to guess not possible and what Andy is able to get dumped will be the replacement rom set. Fortunately the roms in pcb photo have labels so it can be identified to a specific set in case multiple versions did exist.

I forgot about this being added years earlier. If another set gets added later by someone, I hope the brief pcb info is still retained in the src/mame/drivers/epos.cpp file for reference.

Sometime later, I hope an entry for Taito Space Cyclone will show up on your web page
https://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/ Good to know Space Cyclone is working even if it still has more work to be done later.
