Yes, remove a screw, pop up the keyboard, set in a small pcb. I think an 80287 can also be user installed. >What are the keyboard and screen like? Screen is very nice, doesn't streak like my Zenith! But keyboard is non-optimal, less than full travel; function keys (and esc, ins, del,) are half-vertical-sized. There is a keyboard port on the right, a miniature parallel port, a 9-pin serial port (on left rear), and a slot to slide in either a external monitor interface or the 2400 mnp/fax modem.
