The upgraded ROM's for the original IIc's only allowed you to use a 
UniDisk 3.5 and fixed a serial port problem.  The only memory option 
for these machines is a RAM board that goes between the CPU/MMU chips 
and the motherboard.  The rev. 3 and 4 IIc's used a totally different 
motherboard that had a memory expansion connector, which opens up more 
memory expansion options for you.
