0-20k ROM doubt

It is mentioned in this link, "does not include ROM"? Is it not something that comes along with the motherboard?

No OS will be installed.. but you can install them after you get it.
Also it doesn't have RAM. So u need to get RAM separately. It will have motherboard and cpu with the chassis. Check it it has any hdd or ssd also.. if not then u may have to get that too

I don't think you have answered my question. You have answered what I did not ask

Motherboard usually comes with a ROM. Here the seller meant to convey that there will be no Storage provided with the tiny pc. Instead he used the word ROM, I think.

He technically DID answer your question. ROM in this context is just storage, it doesn't have any storage. This model should have a slot for 2.5" SSD/HDD and an m.2 nvme slot but you will have to get the storage yourself.

That's obvious with so many NUC barebones. what I was wondering was If I add RAM, HDD/SSD, and OS , will the PC be ready or I will miss something due to ROM? so far from both of your replies, I infer, it is a wrong listing by the seller.

Yes.

or I will miss something due to ROM?

Nope.

Yes, seller should have mentioned HDD/SSD instead of ROM.

ROM actually means CD/DVD etc. where you write once and it becomes read only after the first write process.

Nah, man, the bios chip will be missing. They expect you to program and solder your own BIOS. /s

@variablevector
Won't coreboot, GNU Boot, etc. help with this situation, if so required ?

Did everybody miss Windows XP Home in the listing? XD

Linux / OSS people who know enough quirks won't bother about WinXP.
