From what I read it should be possible to flash the chip with your own
image *inside* the neoware box itself. There's a discussion on this topic on
http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=1273155
One of the contributors to this discussion has posted a link to a method
that involves PXE booting the device into Linux and then run a flash
routine. The download includes a TFTP server for Windows and the images
for XP embedded. It shouldn't be too hard to hack into this method and
do other stuff, such as creating a backup of the current image.
