James, thanks.
I will check ebay for memory.
Not sure about the screen. Set at 800x600 and 256 colors, it resembles the screens on my 70XL and CD units, except that everything (ie icons) are much bigger on the 365XL.
It is running much better now. Norton corrected 255 registry errors; I corrected 2 system.ini errors, and then defraged the unit with verify and wipe enabled.
64Mb of memory should make it a nice unit for the basics and a little more.

Nice old machine.

Performance should be stellar with W95! Not blazing fast, but neither should it
be characterized as "pig slow". I'd suggest a re-install of the OS, try to get
W95OSR2. Make sure you have all of the correct drivers:

The P133 came with either the TFT or DSTN 11.3" screen, which one has this got?

72MB with a 64MB EDO upgrade.

Check eBay as well, frequently seen.
