I've not seen an expansion RAM card (it has taken me 6 months to get a lowly
old serial interface), but rumor has it that they do make the machine bigger.
They plug into the side of the machine in the same spigot that the serial
port does. Since they purportedly pass the bus through, you are able to
use multiple RAM expanders with serial and parallel ports.

Yes and yes.
