I'm looking in one now and don't see where it could be upgraded. There are
no unpopulated sockets, no edge connector, no internal mezannine pins. The
DIP switches are labelled as follows...
UC U & LC Upper Case only vs Upper and Lower Case, presumably
E/O M/S Even/Odd vs Mark/Space
E/M O/S Even/Mark vs Odd/Space
2SB 1SB 1 vs 2 Stop Bits
F-DPX H-DPX Full vs Half Duplex
CTRL OFF Working vs Not Working CTRL Key?
CD OFF Carrier Detect on vs off?
40/24 20/12 Screen size in X by Y?
----------------
CL EIA 20mA vs RS-232
LOCAL LINE Local vs Online
110 --+
300 B
1200 A
4800 U
9600 D
19.2K --+
So nothing there relating to computer functions. I'm stumped. It doesn't

Basically, if I were to read a sales flyer for the VIP-3301, what features
would RCA highlight?
I remember seeing one ad for the VP 3301 in one issue of Kilobaud. I'll try
to find it again. Basically... It was advertised as a TV ASCII Terminal
that could be upgraded to a computer.
