The EI features won't be activated on an SI switch regardless of the image. 
When I first tried, I used an EI only image and had to xmodem the old image 
back.

And, as  you pointed out, that image is an "EI AND SI" image so sure, 
that'll load.  But I won't have an EI switch at the end of the day which 
means I'll be stuck with 64 VLANs vs. 250.
