interesting........ Cisco 3600 series routers ship with minimum 8 meg
flash.... the 3660 can have up to 64 meg.
Not to question whether you can tell if flash is there or not... :-)
....but it sounds like you need to get a friend to ship you a flash module
with a valid IOS on it - or borrow one from another 36xx you may have
onsite.
Something similar happened to us just a while ago and we got out of it by
using a standby router. In our case the flash became corrupt - couldn't
delete it or use it in any way.
We put in into another router (sick one was a 3620 - standby was a 3640) and
was able to write to it and put it back into the sick one - now well.
In our case we had to be careful to write a 3620 IOS and not a 3640 image.
