Yeah, I noticed that. I was unaware that you could get more than 512k by using the front expansion port, so this is a nice surprise. Any label on the ram expansion module has long since vanished, but it looks like the case on the module opens pretty easy. I'll take pictures of that and post them. Maybe someone could help me identify it if there are no tell tale markings on the PCB. I will however be posting the pictures to a new thread, along with what I have here so far, as this thread was about getting it to boot to workbench, and as of last night I achieved that.

Link to the new thread about the restoration of this machine will be posted here as soon as I get it posted. Thank you everyone for your help and encouragement.
