Indeed, I didn't verify current source when I wrote my reply... *puzzled*
[EDIT] I got it, he's looking at MAWS! http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/driverinfo/midwunit.c
Buddy, that's not our sourcecode. MAWS is drawing from MASH's olds PCBInfos pack to make that page. Also, MAWS is, while a good resource, technicaly "unofficial" and hasn't been updated in a good long period due to hard disk failure of the developer cutebutwrong.
Additionally, MASH's PCBInfos pack was discontinued *specifically* at the request of TheGuru, so while MAWS still incorporates that source, that package hasn't seen updates in many years. Nor does it need updates: everything known as far as PCB info should be in the source if necessary. Sadly, short of someone creating a new information resource or PCBInfo support being dropped in MAWS, this info won't be corrected.\
