- We know that the older Powers have flash memory in the DSP. What we don't

- Granted it is a bit of a stretch, but I don't think it is completely out
- of bounds. The real answer is, "none of us know for sure." And we won't
- know unless someone takes a Power apart to figure out how it works or
- Motorola speaks up and tells us.
