January 14, 2003: The old Tech Specs page is gone; I don't have a backup of it, so I looked for some better specs ;) The following specs are bits of data comprised from different sites. Most of the following data came from this page, which also has some cool diagrams on it if you'd like to check it out. I will be putting more stuff on here as I find it.
