You'll need more memory.  Bumb that baby up to 4MB at least.

http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech Electronics sells a 0-8MB memory
cards that takes 1MB 30 pin SIMMs up to 8MB.  I'm sure if you
have an older Mac lying around, you have the right type.

A hard drive is less important, but Alltech also sells one with
GS/OS (System 6.0.1) preinstalled and shareware and freeware
for $59.  You don't need an extra controller card.  The hard
drive is mounted on the controller.  It is called the Focus hard
drive card.  It is standard IDE, should you want to increase
your capacity or need to change the drive mounted on the
controller at a later time.
