I pretty certain that IGS and AGS EPROMs were not interchangeable since
there were code differences, but they were also burnt to different size
EPROMs, as far as I remember. I can look it up if someone needs to know
for sure.

The 8.x versions we really liked in the TAC were 8.2(8) and
8.3(3). Those were pretty solid and this is what I would run if I needed
an 8.x version.
