I'll take the time to answer that one. According to my sources at USR (I 
have a friend who did contract work in their R&D dept), the 128K (or 
was it 256K?) Flash EEPROM is more than enough. They went all out as far 
as memory was concerned because they weren't too sure what to expect in 
the future as far as software needs were concerned.

So basically, they will be flashable 3#-)
