This mini has 2 x (1 GiB) cards. According to Wikipedia, it should
work with 4 GiB; possibly 8.
Memory upgrade may require firmware upgrade. Firmware upgrade
requires MacOS; correct?
Linux has replaced MacOS here. If a firmware upgrade is necessary, I
can try booting from MacOS on USB storage. A more efficient way?
Thanks, ... P.
