-UX/UG/UR models are generally a pain to maintain.  As soon as you import one change the capacitors in the CRT PSU card and Computer PSU card or you'll be in a world of pain.  The models with -40 or -80 at the end have an internal SCSI hard drive that is dead by now of course. The U* models have a removable plate on the right side to insert RAM card.  Stock they all come with 2MB of RAM and you may add a maximum of 8MB ram card for a total of 10MB. \\+UX/UG/UR models are generally a pain to maintain.  As soon as you import one change the capacitors in the CRT PSU card and Computer PSU card or you'll be in a world of pain.

 There is also RGB input port towards the upper right side.  Slide the switch to have internal or external display.  I've also seen some U* models in Japan with a video card and a DB15 cable feeding it BACK into the CRT input permanently outputting 15khz. There is also RGB input port towards the upper right side.  Slide the switch to have internal or external display.  I've also seen some U* models in Japan with a video card and a DB15 cable feeding it BACK into the CRT input permanently outputting 15khz.

-If adding a hard drive the SCSI hard drive ID must be set to 1 or higher. There is no SCSI ID 0 available in U* BIOS. All of the CD rom drives are single speed and can be used in other desktop models with 4 expansion slots in the back. \\ \\

 +U*40 and U*80 models have an internal SCSI connector for their mechanical hard drives that are dead or about to die.  Base U* models without an internal hard drive don't have this connector and it's impossible to add an internal HDD.  You can only use an external hard drive for those models with a SCSI ID of 1 or higher.
