Overview
Inside the Edirol CG-8
Hardware
VIA EPIA M Motherboard
The CG-8 uses a VIA EPIA M mini ITX PC motherboard produced in the early to mid-2000s. It uses the VIA CLE266 chipset and comes with 512MB RAM in its single UDIMM memory slot and a 2.5in 40Gb hard drive, connected via IDE. The Retro Web provides comprehensive information about the board and notes that - like many computers of its era - it is prone to "faulty or leaking electrolytic capacitors".
Notes:
512Mb RAM
The RAM is in the form of a single 512Mb DDR UDIMM PC2100. According to the user manual, the motherboard has a maximum RAM size of 1GB.
40Gb Hard Drive

Diagnostics
Before doing any work on the CG-8 you should back up and clone the internal hard drive. It is strongly recommended that you don't do any diagnostic work with your original hard drive in place.
