Steve and Thread,

From Pen Computing Magazine (October 1999)

re: the Psion netBook

"RAM-based OS"

Unlike the Series 7 (UK only, for now), the netBook is not a ROM but a RAM-based device. The EPOC operating systems is acutally loaded at cold power up into RAM from a CompactFlash card or a serial port. This means that the OS can easily be upgraded and that Psion can extensively customize the netBook to the needs of a customer.

Yet another application for CompactFlash.
