I belive Apple's Newtons have the OSes in ROM.
They certainly do boot
quickly and a chip swap is need to upgrade the OS.
Indeed they do, and yes, OS upgrades are ROM swaps which require a return

Most (all?) WinCE HPCs boot from ROM. OS upgrades require a ROM swap which,
in the case of my HP320LX was a user action, easy too. Of course, this is
somewhat off-topic :-) though I'm looking forward to my Newton becoming a
classic so I can recoup some of the vast sums of money I spent on it :-) It
now lives in the same cupboard as my Osborne....
