Yes, I know - I pointed out the lack of UEFI on this system in the

That's news to me, and I'm surprised not to have seen it better
documented; generational hardware compatibility breaks are usually made
fairly prominent, in my limited experience. Aside from a video link, any
sources / references on documenting this?

Not that I doubt that it's true, I'm just trying to get more background,
including on why and how it managed to slip past my attention.
