Monet is housed in a mini-tower like enclosure quite similar to the Miata
box.
SCSI:
The onboard Qlogic UW-SCSI chip supports up to 4 internal devices. There is
no external connector for the onboard SCSI.
Memory:
For 500 MHz CPUs 83 MHz DIMMs will do. DIMMs are installed in sets of 4,
starting with the DIMM slots marked '0'. Memory capacity is max 4 Gb.

DIMMs are installed 'physically interleaved', note the markings of the

on the CPU daughtercard. Note that the system uses ECC RAM so you need DIMMs
with 72 bits (not the PC-class 64 bit DIMMs)
EIDE:

only one of them.
USB:
If you experience problems trying to use the USB interface please check if
the SRM variable "usb_enable" is set to "on". You can change this by
performing: "set usb_enable on" at the SRM >>> prompt.
Expansion:
Don't try to use NCR/Symbios-chip based SCSI adapters in the PCI slots
connected to hose 1. There is a not-yet-found FreeBSD bug that prevents this
from working correctly.
from working correctly. Not all VGA cards will work behind the PCI-PCI
bridge (so in slots 4 & 5). Only cards that implement VGA-legacy adressing
correctly will work. Workaround is to put the VGA card 'before' the bridge.
