Firmware Selector 1.4a

I've update the firmware selector from 1.3a to 1.4a. For now it is just a 'potential' bugfix release as I spotted an issue that I think may cause issues on 128k machines (mine is 48k so haven't tested). I plan to make it more customisable so you can choose anything flashed to the ROM but that is for a future release.
It should be easy enough to flash using the utility I posted earlier so there is no TAP installer.
The default menu expects the following ROM layout:
Firmware Selector in Sector 0 Bank 3 (Standard DivIDE slot 0)
DEMFIR in Sector 0 Bank 7 (Standard DivIDE slot 2)
+DivIDE in Sector 1 Bank 3 (Standard DivIDE slot 4)
MDOS3 in Sector 1 Bank 7 (Standard DivIDE slot 6)
Fatware in Sector 7 Bank 3 (Standard DivIDE slot 28)
ESXDOS in Sector 7 Bank 7 (Standard DivIDE slot 30)
To use standard ZX Basic you will need to flash the first 8k of the standard ROM into Sector 0 Bank 0 and the second 8k into Sector 0 Bank 1.
Residos needs to be installed into RAM using the TAP utility
Last one for me for a while, enjoy
