Let me clarify, I am successfully running c2500-js-l.120-9.bin (Enterprise
Plus IOS) on all five of my Cisco 2500 series routers with 16MB Ram and 8MB
Flash installed in each.  I know of 20+ others who are doing the same thing.

The image occupies 6.82 MB of the 8 MB flash.  It loads very slow due to the
decompression of the image (it takes 4-5 minutes for the router to load) but
it does work quite well.  12.09 is the newest Enterprise Plus IOS that will
fit in the 8MB of RAM on a 2500.  Additionally 12.09 Enterprise Plus IPSec
is too large and won't work.

Here is a screen capture from a 2501 to prove the point:
