Quirks

• If you install ECC RAM on accident (guess who), you won't even get the helpful chime that says the RAM type is incorrect. You just get a pretty power light and that's it.

History

• 2020-11-13: The computer arrives at my apartment from an eBay seller.
• 2021-05-22: I learn this computer doesn't take ECC RAM.
• 2021-05-28: 📈 I replace the 256 MiB + 128 MiB RAM sticks with two 512 MiB sticks (384 -> 1024).
