Bit of an urban myth that, IIRC My understanding is that the 5300 was planned to be released with Li-on batteries but a couple of the prototype batteries overheated due to manufacturing problems with the batteries. The 5300 was therefore released with Ni-Mh batts instead. The 5300 REP was due to power connector and bad plastics problems. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
