Why does all that have to be in ROM? No one else's ROM does all that.

Certainly shoe-horning Slimserver into 64Mb would be a challenge at the moment, and there's no indication they're moving in the direction of a smaller RAM footprint. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
