Yes, I have one with a dongle. When the dongle is not inserted, there is 
nothing "sticking out". I don't have it to hand, but it's a pretty generic USB 
1 card.

Um... Yes.. You need the right type of RAM, but there are two slots. I believe 
one is limited by the controller, but iirc, you can have  at least 768MB with 
the right modules.

It's PATA (IDE). If you can find a drive, it will probably work. You might be 
better off with CompactFlash (CF) cards and CF to IDE adapters.

Probably not. It's an old machine.

For WIFI? Depends entirely on a few factors : 1) the type of card (PCMCIA 
spec), 2) if there is a driver available. YMMV.
