I own a relatively old PS/2 model 80-4016 which means it has a 40MB HD and
is a 16 MHz 386 MCA bus machine.  It has 1 MB RAM on board and 4 MB on an
INTEL ABOVEBOARD MC32.  My questions are:
1) where in the tower case do I look to see if there are anymore SIMM 
   slots to be filled on the mother board?
2) near the very top of the case there is something that looks like a small
   half card that plugs into a port (NOT an MCA or XT bus port but rather
   with a bunch of male pins.  Underneath it is another port which has nothing
   attached to it.  Is this the actual main memory for the machine?
   The small rows of silver square blocks are not SIMMs but what are they?
3) Would it be possible to buy 2MB or 4MB SIMMs to replace the ones in the
   machine now?  On the motherboard not the INTEL card.

Thanks for any/all help.
