While I doubt you'd legally be able to answer this, I'm going to ask anyways,
just in case you CAN...

How hard would it be to replace the EEPROM with one with a larger memory
capacity?

All,

Several questions came up during the Spybotics demo at BrickFest that Jeff

corresponding answers on to me:

*** How much memory is in the brick? (compared to RCX) ***

Two thirds the memory (4k compared to 6k for program download "with our
standard firmware"). And it's persistent: because it's stored in EEPROM, you
can remove the batteries and come back years later to find your program is
still there in good shape.
