By Apple set top box, do you mean the Mac that was black, and had a TV? Or
do you mean that device that was never released, is Apple branded, and
plugged into a TV? Or another machine all together? Can you elaborate?

Cool idea --
flash on a DIMM. Has anyone ever heard of such a beast?
The Apple Set Top box uses flash SIMM/DIMMs for it's boot
code. At least the one I have does. It's a 68pin SIMM with 8 Intel
E28F020 flash memory chips (256k x 8).
