Firstly, it's a 32k ROM.
Secondly, it's not a BBC language ROM, but formatted as an Archimedes ROM
filing system ROM (so *RUN ROM:ICHART is used to start it).

There are a few minor changes, copying from the leaflet these are
 - function keys f0-f9 mapped to f1-f12
 - shift/ctrl+cursor key actions reversed
 - more modes allowed
 - no ROM link facility

Sprow.
