MISCELLANEOUS
Manufactured:Korea, 1998-200x (Discontinued)
Main PCB: Early version: M40E034E by Maycom Co. Ltd.
Improved version (Late 2003): M40E233A by Maycom Co. Ltd.
Sub PCBs:
Additional info: Early version has orange backlight while later version is green.
I know of at least two revisions of the PCB; the early one had a
backup battery that was prone to leakage. This was later improved
on by a change to supercap backup.
