It's like a big PC desktop style case... ISA slots and the processor slot.
It has the processor upgrade card too, 68030/33MHz I believe with a
whopping 16MEGs of RAM.

Where/how would one get PCI upgrades? I wouldn't imagine the current
system bus/speed would handle any decent PCI without a motherboard
replacement of some sort... unless it's all densely packed on a processor
card of some kind.
