Re: 4.39 ROM for RPCEMU from CD
I don't know if the 4.39 ROM is compressed at all. If it's exactly 4MB or 6MB already it's not compressed, else it'll be 21 bytes again.

These are a collection of flyers and brochures from Acorn shows in the 80s. The chap seemed to have gone to each stand and picked up the leaflets from each.
