Upgrade paths

RAM

80 MB via the sole SO-DIMM slot on top of the soldered base · Panel removal reaches the single expansion slot; period SO-DIMMs of the right pinout are scarce today.

MODERATE

storage

Replacement 2.5" IDE hard drive at whatever size the BIOS geometry translation supports · Standard IDE bay; the main obstacle is BIOS-era capacity limits rather than the connector itself.
