The base configuration T1000SE comes with 1M RAM (everything above 640K
can be used as LIM EMS 3.2 memory or HardRAM) and has a slot for one
memory card.  Toshiba sells 1M and 2M memory cards, which resemble those
credit-card calculators in size and shape.  With the 2M card, the SE
supports a maximum of 3M RAM.  RAM is cmos and unfortunately very 
expensive (I think the 2M card lists for $1200, though I was able to
buy one at a discount).  "Non-volatile" RAM is backed by the SE's internal
batteries (main and backup NiCd), so data cannot be maintained when the
card is removed from the T1000SE.  The memory slot is accessible through
an external (friction-held) cover, an improvement over the T1000, which
required you to open the entire case and disconnect the battery before
installing the 768Card.
