I asked a legitimate question on the HP iPaq forum. The question got removed and then I got a nasty letter from someone in customer service at HP. Basically they presumed from my question that I was trying to do something illegal. Believe me I was not and I told them very clearly in my response how I felt. Anyway, I digress. Is there any aftermarket or outside source software or utilities out there that will enable me to access the 32 MB ROM that is basically unusable to me and always has been. I have a H3650, it is way out of warranty so I don't care about that. It has 32 MB ROM in it because Compaq chose to do that to get it out the door. I know that with a series 37XX ROM file that I can access my ROM and move my Reader, Media Player, Avantgo, and other stuff into ROM to free up RAM. But apparantly you cannot buy that and I do not want it illegally. I have already upgraded to PPC 2002 and EUU 1 thru 3.
So do I have any other options to get to that ROM?
Thank you

It's certainly possible because I was forced to restore my Ipaq (16mb Rom) using some of the utilities that you use to install linux on an Ipaq. I don't see any reason this would not be possible with a 32mb ROM. The only thing is that you will need to get your hands on a 32mb ROM file from somewhere.

Okay Thanks, but I haven't found a whole lot so far. I may just have to learn to live with it. :)
