	That is certainly a possibility. This version of the 2600
has one and only one socket under the door which is above and to
the right of the battery compartment and that card is  presently
128 MB. I don't know yet if the other 128 MB of RAM is soldered
right to the board under the keyboard or if it can also be
removed when excavated.


	My next task is to checkout Dell's web site. We did write
down the service tag numbers and all the numbers on the memory
module. It sounds like it is worth checking out how much of an
upgrade is practical with this system.
