This is the standard configuration, also the maximum configuration  
(except for the disk, which obviously can be expanded).

There were no processor upgrades made, and the machine has an  
architectural limit of 160 MB.

9.1 is good, but with OS9Helper, you can get to 9.2.2.

And, with XPostFacto, you can get to 10.3.9, although the screen  
resolutions will be limited to "thousands" (down from "millions").

The card cage is CardBus compatible, but with the "keys" of a PCMCIA  
card.

You can modify CardBus cards to fit the card cage, or you can modify  
the card cage to accept CardBus cards. The former is easier, although  
you do have to modify every CardBus card you want to use.

Firewire and UCB cards (CardBus only) sometimes work. Mostly not,  
though.

These machines do make good "road Apples" as these are compact,  
although these are rather heavy for their size.
