Quirks
- If you want to use the CD-ROM drive and the 3.5" floppy disk drive at the same time, insert the CD-ROM drive into the laptop and connect the 3.5" floppy disk drive externally using the Parallel Port adapter. It doesn't work if you do this in reverse.
History
- 2021-03-03: The computer arrives at my apartment from an eBay seller. The seller is kind enough to ship the laptop with a working battery, both Expansion Bay modules, a PCMCIA Ethernet card, and a PCMCIA USB 2.0 two-port card.
- 2021-03-04: 📉 I discover one of the RAM sticks is bad and remove it (128 -> 64).
- 2021-03-11: 📈 I insert a working replacement RAM stick (64 -> 128).
- 2021-??-??: 📈 The firmware is upgraded to the latest version.
