== Quirks ==
* Don't install Mac OS 9.2.2 using the 2013 universal CD. Sleep won't work due to a lack of drivers, and the display will be quite shrunken. Instead, use the "drag and drop" System Folder.
* The bottom right corner of the front bezel is popped out and refuses to pop back in, even when a 120-pound person sits on the computer. The only negative effect of this is loud noises from the speakers make the display vibrate.
* It is possible to install Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on this computer, though it is a bit of a pain to do so. You will need to <code>dd</code> the ISO to a flash drive, make Open Firmware lie about the [[Installing_Mac_OS_X_10.5_Leopard_on_slow_computers|processor speed]], [[Booting_PowerPC_Macs_from_USB#Advanced Booting|disguise the flash drive as the CD-ROM drive]], and have the patience to watch Leopard install at USB 1.1 speeds.
