RE: [iPAQ] yet another flash size question(s)

It is certainly possible to run something under WindowsCE to find the actual
flash size, but I can't point you to anything.

We have upgraded DRAM in one unit to 64MB. It's just as easy to upgrade
flash to 32MB. If someone wants to have this done, I can send you the name
of a rework shop that can do the work.

Is there a way to check on flash size from CE? I wonder if 32MB units
could dual-boot from flash?

Has anybody considered expanding the internal ROM and RAM by
adding/swapping chips like was done on early PalmPilots? It may not be
possible, the PalmPilot memory board was designed to be removed by the
user. Soldering surface mount components is way past my abilities.

Interesting...
