I just got one for a customer.
The FREE means free from anything!!!!
NO CD-ROM, No Floppy, no Serial Ports, no Parallel port.

Just 5 USB ports and Network adapter and a Video Port

No slots either.
If you want a modem you have to get and external USB type.
Cause there is no slot to put it in, or Serial port for a normal (read old style) one.
Want a Printer, get a USB one.
The keyboard and mouse are supplied. And you guessed it, USB devices.
Man what a shock!!!!
So I have to send it back.
I need do install software and on eSerial port to run a scale.
Oh there is a Drive Expansion slot, no drives in though.
You can purchase a Floppy and or CD-ROM but you can use only one at a time.
And you have to shut the machine off to swap them.
