No, there isn't. The board can apparently take a fairly standard 8MB flash
device if you have some way to blow the firmware into it though. I expect
Rebel.com would be willing to sell you 8MB versions if you were intending
to buy a large enough number of them. Alternatively, it wouldn't be all
that difficult to resolder them yourself, and I recall somebody saying on
the NetWinder list a while back that he had managed to talk to it with
some kind of JTAG rig (I think the NetWinder mailing lists are dead now
though).

It also only has 8MB of RAM, no ethernet port, and pretty much no
expansion capability (apart from RS232, IRDA and USB ports, and I'm not
even sure whether the USB has master capability or not (the SA1100's on
chip USB is slave only, but I recall Hugo saying he had to add a
seperate USB chip anyway as the SA1100's implementation is buggy)). I
think there's also a significant waiting list for them. They're extremely
cool as a car stereo, but I wouldn't recommend trying to use one as a
router.
