Does anyone know how to shrink the extended ROM for the Wing/herald? I put a 2MB extended rom into my image and when I go to flash I get an invalid file size error.

It's impossible. Unfortunately, our SPL's flash drive's driver only supports a 10MB one. Believe me, I've tried... and I got comfirmation from cmonex, a SPL expert. Unfortunately, there is nothing to be done, as the drivers are device specific. (Unless someone was somehow good enough to code a whole new driver for the Herald.)

It's ok. I went through the same headache about 2 years ago. I just don't think I ever actually told anyone about it.
