We've tried everything else...so it can't hurt & if it does work...will be a
better way to run the OS. The thing I don't exactly understand why this
traditional BIOS doesn't work straight out of the box. On the other
hand...with the newer non-BIOS systems where it wouldn't work. Personally...I
think ArcaOS will get this fixed eventually.

Not sure if your room is the same size of what my old Elmer used to have
which was in the same roughly area size. I suggested that if could move his
desk out from the side wall less than a foot...he could put the system on the
floor beside the desk. If this were today...I would've gotten him a Pi Zero
(which would have been better than the Compaq he bought used years ago
running Windows 98SE). Even if that wouldn't work good...the Pi4 would still
blow that Compaq out of the water.

That sounds almost like my old Elmer. Are you sure you don't live in Jerome,
ID? ;D

Can you use shelves in there? At work...we sell metal/plastic shelves. That
would solve the issue with the desktop weight.

That's a major benefit with only needing to set up the dpi to print.
