Good! What type of battery cells did you use? |

Used three little coin cells reuse the box and connector |

Nice. Just wanted to make sure you didn't go with alkaline AAAs like i've seen some do. My TV remote can attest to the leak-prone nature of those things. Darn AAAs leaked before they even stopped working... |

Thanks, yes exploding batteries make me sad. With leaking caps, batteries, recycling and age fewer and fewer old computers and game consoles will be around in the future. That said I need to recap my turbo duo ASAP. |

yeah that's just how it goes... at least half of all the models of laptops in the 90s, if not closer to 70/80% will be good at dead 10 years from now, they've all got internal VARTA batteries like old 2/3/486 desktop boards did. but of course the laptops kept using them until the early 2000s in some cases... |

Bought a few more items via fromJapan another Quadra 700 only exterior photo so I got it for a good price around 120 before shipping it ended up being pack with goodies. Maxed vram and memory plus an Apple PPC upgrade card. Also bought a Quadra 650 for roughly the same price because it had the same PPC upgrade that one has a bad power supply. Picked up a boxed complete DOS compatibility card for the 6100. To support all this equipment setup a second desk in my home office dedicated to classic Macs and for my soldering station |
