Noggie:
I understand what you mean about the RAM. Problem is the onboard RAM on the Dream has quite literally no room for expansion. There's no room to drop larger chips in the DreamBox and adding to the existing is a no-go as ther's no spare space for expansion.
Sorry to be the harbinger of doom on this point, As much as I'd be happy to say yes it can expand the RAM it's can't due to the hardware.
The upgrade to the flash rom should be fairly easy from a hardware point. Chip out and (programmed) chip in. Obviously to run the 7020 firmware this would require the 7020 boot block in the flash and the software in the upper sections, as the 7000 firmware is now, Unlike the 7020 which has them seperate (IE: Boot block Bios and seperate flash for the firmware) Any help on combining the two on the one chip is appreciated. I don't do software too well, but give me hardware and I'm a whizz
