Known quirks
- Rev 1 had USB issues — data corruption fixed in Rev 2 revised logic board
- Side-flop case opens like a book — much easier to service than Beige G3
- Four-bay drive cage holds up to 4 IDE drives — but only 2 natively supported in OS 9
- PMU chip can latch up — needs PMU reset button press for revival
- Plastic handles on the case fade and yellow with UV exposure
