The Macintosh Portable is for all practical purposes a Macintosh SE. It too had an expansion slot which many developers used to add as much as 9MB RAM, though Apple did not officially support more than 5MB (originally only 3MB!). The backlit model limited the maximum to 8MB as does the PB 100. Many 68030 accelerators for the SE would also allow the maximum 24-bit RAM support of 16MB for the SE & the Plus. The SE has plenty of wasted space in its address map which is presumably how the Portable manages to support the extra RAM.
