I think it is maybe a little more fundamental. As he does not have enough
flash. From a previous experience, there is an upgrade procedure which
involves the dip switches on the ISA card mentioned.
However I couldn't get that to work and Cisco RMA'd the card and sent a new
ISA card for the chassis.
I think Ross may need a new ISA card as I am unaware of any way to change
the chips on the card.
Regards,
John

As far as I can recall to upgrade IOS you have to email Cisco your checksum
and they will email you a new checksum that will allow the IOS upgrade via
tftp. So I believe a maintenance contract is required.
