Quirks

• The floppy drive has some trouble.
• Don't hit the eject button right after hitting the power button. If you do, the optical drive tray will extend by the smallest notch possible and then fail to eject until you press it slightly inwards.
• The PS/2 mouse port doesn't always work. A PS/2 configuration error message is printed during boot when this happens.
