I'm considering installing Linux on a T-5700 (no, _not_ 5200) laptop.
It is a 386DX with mono VGA screen.

The feature which causes me to hesitate is that it only has 2M of RAM
and seems to need a proprietary RAM card to increase that at all.

Toshiba want about $1E3 for same, populated with 8M. I understand
that the absolute ceiling for this machine is 12M. I can live with
that, but a grand is a _leetle_ pricey.

Is there anyone else out there with a like machine? Is there a non-
proprietary method for adding RAM to it? Is there documentation for
its innards? Can I borrow a RAM adaptor or steal a copy of the PCB
layout of it? Can I plug a low-power 5x86 into the CPU (or FPU)
socket and live with a *lot* of swapping?
