Nope, I stand corrected. I had peeked inside before, but forgot about the half-hidden module. Interestingly, the spec sheet says "64MB on motherboard and 2 sockets for two JEDEC 144-pin SDRAM SO-DIMMs". But the module "on motherboard" is also socketed and actually has the same IBM part number as the accessible one. That suggests that with some careful disassembly it can be upgraded to 384MB, instead of the 320MB show in the specs. But 128MB is enough for me so far. Anyway, I pulled the one DIMM, booted up, compiled a new kernel with options MAXMEM=130496, put the DIMM back in, and everything is happy! Thanks, all, for the assistance.
