I have no idea about H7000 but it seems very unlikely that they would put a 32 bit chip on a machine with only 16K ROM and 1K RAM. Sounds like H8 chip where it has RAM and ROM and processor on the same chip. I would be somehwat leary of a 16K program. The best thing to do is call ICD and they are usually pretty honest about the strength of the machines. How much are these machines anyway? I have been wanting an expert strength dedicated unit.
