: P.S. Any thoughts on removing the WinCE ROM??

Several.  Although most of them aren't fit to print in polite society
:-)

Speaking to the problem generally it is a huge PITA.  All the ROM
cards are different, no two machines use the same ROM parts, let alone 
have the same pinouts.  All the machines have different initialization 
sequences to go through that can charitably be described as "whacked
out."  It is a huge effort, and in the end would likely buy you little 
unless you could make the replacement "ROMS" be flashable to new
revisions, in place.

I looked into this several years ago with the NecMobilePro 400 I had
at the time and concluded that any efforts in this area would likely
be wasted.
