Also, ComputerCare is manufacturing a RAM upgrade, called Mac Stretch.
It comes with 1 MB on board, plus two SIMM slots (you cna use 256K or 1MB
SIMMs).  It also has expansion port for future upgrades, one of which will
allow you to plug a larger monitor into the classic.

Other upgrades include:
Ram disk -- up to 16 MB seperate from main system memeory
for a dedicated RAM disk, you can use any type of simm including 4MB sims

Possible networking card -- ethernet, token ring, who knows?

I'm using the Mac Stretch, and have had no problems with it.  It was pretty
easy to install, and I have not had any compatibility problems, even running
System 7 (of course I can't use the virtual memory part of Sys7... oh well..)
