Yes you can put XPP on CF or MD, however if using CF, you will not be happy
with the performance, as you get no EWF in XPP. the writebacks to the CF
will burn it out fairly quick. I would recommend MD... at least you will
have a decent lifespan out of the drive.
as for stripping XPP, there is only so much that you can strip out, since
the binaries are pre-built... I would recommend using the OEM version, so
you can have some control, but not much.
no shameless plug, but if you contact me offline, I might be able to help
your plight with your customer. we can componetize the application for you,
which is really optimal.
