Now the real question for us hardware moders, is can we replace the 16MByte, (aka 128Mbit), SPI Flash with something larger?
I'd want to research getting something better than u-boot, perhap Open Firmware.
I've done this type of hardware change before, (can't call it hacking, due to the public perception of the word). If I remember correctly, I changed out a 256 byte flash device for 8KB. Not that hard. Of course, that was before surface mounting was the norm. (Arg, don't tell anyone I am that old!)
Perhaps I will have time to review the schematics, (though not this weekend).
