Not sure what the biggest PLCC is, but it's probably not much over 1MB. We use a 64MB IDE FLASH on some of our EPIA's which is easily big enough for a kernel and RAM disk. The nice thing about the IDE FLASH is that it can easily be replaced by a disk if you want.
It seems the main difference between the EPIA and the EPIA-M (and possibly the EPIA-10000) is the type of RAM used (SDRAM/DDR). It's going to take some work to add DDR support to current EPIA image.

hi! This is my first post. I'm trying to develop my own Car PC and using LinuxBios I hope to get faster boot times. I'm using a Via EPIA M-II 10000. What are the first steps I should take? The epia bios is socketed on 32-lead PLCC format. What is the biggest rom size I could get? It is possible to use DOC on this motherboard (may be, I could fit a usable linux system on... less than 64mb).
I've reading the list archive but I'm still a little lost. All help will be aprecciated. Thanks!!
