Bah. The 4700M can go to 16 Mb of flash and 64 Mb of RAM. While this is
a design mistake in itself, the biggest 12.2(2)T4 image available (a3jk8s)
is only 10 Mb in size and should run fine.
The 3620 has similar memory bounds, and additionally looses CPU memory to
IOmem (the 4700 doesn't), and it's still officially supported. What they
did for the 3620 - and I can understand and accept that - is to drop
rarely-used features (DECnet and such) from the 3620 images.
(But this point is actually moot - they never said they would release
12.2T for 4xxx. Nevertheless I feel cheated)
