This part I don't think is too likely, until a third party vendor
produces something.  The Panasonic version of the 1100 DOES have
upgradeable memory, but ours doesn't.  One thing I might suggest is that
you try to trade your 1100 up to a 1500.  The 1500 is a super little
machine.

You will not void your warranty by opening the machine, just be careful
and don't break anything!  I think the utility program is in error.
Laptops don't have much of a bus at all and MCA support chips are way
too expensive to use instead of AT chips.
