I went thru this upgrade a few months ago. 

The quick answer is: "You can't get there from here."
The useful answer is: Upgrade to 10 Meg.

You need 30-pin simms, which is standard for older machines. The new
72-pin simms won't work. You also need 2 simms because you must replace
them in pairs. Since there are only two simm slots, you have to remove the
2 1-meg simms already installed. You can replace them with either 2-meg or
4-meg simms. This would give you either 6 or 10 meg total. So upgrading to
8-meg is not possible. 

Upgrading beyond 10 meg is also out of the question, as 10 meg is the most
that the original LC and LC ][ can recognize.
