Any UK DiskOnChip Retailers?

[Lee]

Dear all,
            Thanks for the great advice, I really appreciate it.
Is it possible to fit an EEPROM with a greater capacity than the current 
2MB one?

Also, on an unrelated issue, I noticed that when I moved from Linux 
kernel 2.2.19 (c/o Debian Potato) to Linux kernel 2.4.18 (c/o Debian 
Woody) the Penguin logo on the framebuffer device at startup no longer 
has a pint of bitter statically linked to it's arm :D. Any Ideas why?
