Quirks
- When the machine is plugged in, the power light and hard disk will turn on for about two seconds. Maybe some type of self-test?
- The optical drive is failing. Rotating the machine 90 degrees so that the optical drive door faces the top of the desk seems to be most effective. If the disc still fails to read, shut down the computer and let it sit for a few minutes before trying again.
- The manual eject for the optical drive doesn't require a paperclip and sheer force. Instead, there is a small button that can be pressed with the tip of a pen.
- Open Firmware can't boot from USB
