The roms are typically still available as long as you have a support
contract on the unit.

I have about 25 units of the latest 11.0(c) roms available for the 2500
series routers which support the 16 mb flash requirement and solves the
problem of the fussy 3rd party flash simms issue too.

If you need, contact me offline for pricing information.

It can, provided that the boot ROM is late enough to recognize 16F. The
very early 25xx routers would only do 8M flash and were quite fussy
about
the brand of flash chips.

At one time updated boot ROMs were available free from Cisco, not sure
now that the 2501 is considered ancient history.
