Quirks
- There is a packaged riser card tucked away at the edge of the inside of the case. It appears to provide eight more memory module slots. There is a note on it from the previous owner that reads, "Card Prevents RAM test/Boot."
- The original hard disk is still mounted in its original location, but it has long been disconnected in favor of the CF-to-IDE adapter.
- Sometimes a "Configuration error for slot 16" message appears during boot, but it seems like there are no ill effects.
- Use the 3com EtherDisk to enable Plug-and-Play on the network adapter, or none of the Windows 95 3com EtherLink network drivers will work.
