Looks like the existing ram board has to be replaced.  One of the open slots
is not a full length ISA connector (8 bit?)  I like the Portable design.  I
wish I was more of a fabricator, because I would like to build a machine
inspired by it's design with new components.  I could probably get by using a
ITX board to save space.
