So, that's what it is.  I've never been able to tell for sure.  I didn't
think it was memory expandable, because It came with a Memory Expansion
Manual, and I assumed that this card (from AE) was installed, but it
didn't mention the IIc having expandability.  It talks about plugging a
board into the MMU, and putting the MMU and CPU onto the Expansion Board. 
I am gonna open it up soon and see exactly what's in there.
