Pickle is right:
LC has none not even has holes for one.
LCII does have wiring designed in but no socket. Has to clean out
the square of two rows solder holes (68pin PGA socket for PLCC type)
and pull a socket from old peecee 286 or 386sx motherboard) and
solder it in. Oh right way around of course.
Best LC should be LCIII and LCIII+, simply add PLCC 68882 25 MHz or
33 (this is for LCIII+) even LC475/Q605 swap cpu for real '040
instead of LC040. Reason I say go LCIII, LCIII+, LC475 or Q605, you
can get 20MB or 36MB using 16MB or 32MB FPM 72pin simm 80ns or
faster.
Cheers,
Jason
