[c-nsp] memory-size iomem (7200 series)

[Steven Bertsch]

Rodney,

I think he was referring to the fact that CCO lists many images available 
for download specifically for these cards (i.e. non-kboot images), but that 
only one or two will actually fit.

One thing that's not entirely clear to me is:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/products_data_sheet09186a00800ae715.html

This URL notes the following:
I/O Controllers
The NPE-400 is supported on the following Cisco 7200 Series I/O controllers:
• C7200-I/O
• C7200-I/O-FE

The NPE-400 is supported in 12.1(3A)E, 12.1(5)T1, 12.0(14)S, and later 
Cisco IOS® releases.

The only 12.0S releases available for download are all too large to fit on 
a 4MB card (which actually formats to 3.25MB).

12.0(28d) and 12.0(28c) are the only images available that will fit, and 
it's not clear whether they will support the NPE-400 or not.
