This unit also appears to contain a (likely IDE based) ZIP 250MB drive. Though it is untested at this time.
A correction from TheRetroWeb however is that this unit can accept '''''512MB''''' of total memory, not 384MB.
 
The CPU can also be upgraded to a maximum 533Mhz ''Mendocino'' Celeron. A Celeron is required as the Pentium 3 versions operate with the full 100Mhz FSB rather than the 66Mhz of the motherboard
