WIP:

- 22nd February 2010: Mr. Do - ChuckH pointed out that Mad Alien uses the same type of bezel as the DECO Cassette games. It turns out that Tomahawk 777 does also. This was added.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (tomahaw1) to (tomahawk1).

- 16th November 2008: Guru - I recently picked up a pile of junk for spares and repairs from a local friend. It turned out there was quite a bit of interesting stuff in this lot. As far as I can make out, I got a Tomahawk (Data East) PCB.

- 0.125u3: Nicola Salmoria added 2nd Player and 'Cabinet' dipswitch.

- 0.122u6: Changed description to 'Tomahawk 777 (rev 5)' and clone '(Revision 1)' to '(rev 1)'.

- 0.118u3: Atari Ace added new AM_READ_PORT() macro which lets you define an input port read callback based on a port tag. This is now preferred over the previous technique of calling port_tag_to_handler() within an AM_READ() macro. Updated Tomahawk that uses the latter pattern to the new system.

- 0.115u4: Astro Fighter driver update [Zsolt Vasvari]: Added memory map/interrupt/video timings from schematics. Hooked up SN76477 to Tomahawk 777. Switched the two Tomahawk 777 sets. The newer version is now the main set and the older has been renamed to tomahaw1. General driver clean-up. Renamed (tomahawk) to (tomahaw1) and (tomahaw5) to (tomahawk).

- 27th February 2000: Nicola Salmoria fixed Tomahawk from crashing. Zsolt Vasvari fixed Tomahawk protection.

- 0.34RC1: Added Samples sound, but the samples are still missing.

- 0.34b8: Howie Cohen added high score saving to Tomahawk.

- 0.34b2: Zsolt Vasvari added Tomahawk 777 (Revision 1) and clone (Revision 5).
