It's possible to add another 64 MB in the four spare sockets on the=20
motherboard. I don't think it's possible to replace the existing RAM,=20
but I haven't tried.

As far as Linux is concerned support for more than 64 MB is untested=20
yet. That's likely to change, however. Today I got my additional 64=20
MB from Wolfsoft (http://www.wolfsoft.de). As soon as I find the time=20
to solder the chips I'll get the Linux on the box to support them.=20
I'll keep the list informed of any progress.
