There used to be.  Applied Engineering used to offer a complete upgrade 
for the //c and //c+.  They had a 1 meg expansion board that went in, 
somwhere:).  They also had a 16 bit upgrade for it.  It wouldn't run any 
IIgs software, but it sped the thing up considerably.

A company that has been out of business for quite some time now, known as 
Applied Ingenuity, used to make a hard drive kit for the regular //c.  
The kit would replace the space taken by the 5.25" drive, and allow for 
the user to put the internal 5.25" into a case.  The drive was called 
CDrive if memory serves correctly.  That company's goal was to make the 
//c 100% portable.  They even had an LCD screen for the //c, although the 
FCC didn't approve it.
