- They have the same number of expansion slots, one. The LCII has only
- a PDS slot ant the IIsi has a slot that can be adapted to either PDS or
- NuBus.

-
- Another thing to point out is the fact that the LCII has dedicated
- Video RAM for driving monitors where the IIsi has to use it's standard
- RAM. However there is a tradeoff since the IIsi can access up to 17MB of
- RAM and the LCII is limited to 10MB.
