hi.  when you stick a floppy in m2-225-6, the eject button does not
extend fully, and the machine appears not to recognize the floppy drive
(you can't read floppies on it, and you can't boot from them.)  

based on software errors i'm seeing, i suspect it may have bad memory,
too, but i've been unable to confirm this with the mtest86 application
because it requires booting from a floppy. :)

hth.
alex.
