Newbie with epia M-II

[Greg Watson]

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.
