Read up on the memory expansion here.  You will need a few things that are unavailable through conventional sources, but I think you can make it happen.  The EEPROM image for a 8MB Stereo rack is in the files section.

Happy researching!

Having just connected it up and run some diagnostics, it turns out that it has 4Mb!!  To say I'm happy about that is an understatement - I'd like an HD as well (but I can add that fairly easily) - as I obviously have the expansion board installed.  Looking to the future at some point, what exactly is required to load it up to the full 8Mb?  And how hard is it to do?
