Zero chance, by whose definition? Where there's a will, there's a way.

The big problem as I see it is the fact that the IIc was designed as a closed box
architechture. There's simply not room inside the thing to add cards. But, it
does have the port for an external disk drive...I'm not sure offhand what the
capabilities of the IIc are, but why not somehow fool it into thinking that this
is just a giant HFS disk drive?
