 I personally have no experience with the MIO or Blackbox (I have
neither; I have an old 11mb Corvus drive on an Atari 8oo). I know
several people who have experienced problems with the MIO in running
BBS's, and, in the early days at least, after it was first released,
many were defective and had to be returned to the manufacturer for
repair.
 Someone left me E-Mail to which I can't reply (I keep getting an error).
So, to answer the question: No, I do not think it is possible to add
memory to the blackbox, and if it were, it could probably be used only as
a print spooler.
