OK, if that's all that is needed, then in src/drivers/bzone.c , change
line 649 from:
 
    ROM_RELOAD( 0xf800, 0x0800 ) /* for reset/interrupt vectors
to
    ROM_LOAD( "036408.01", 0xf00, 0x0800, 0xthechecksum )

Replacing 'thechecksum' with the checksum/crc MAME uses.

This is relative to xmame 3.7 B7, and will make the Battlezone driver play
the Clay version instead of the regular version. In 30 seconds, I haven't
come up with an all new driver yet. :-)

So -- if you would be so kind as to provide the images, and the CRC if
you've got it, I can give it a whirl. Sorry -- no DOS compiler here. :-)
