Re: clock battery prob on 180c & where to find it?

Bill, Mine is a PB 280C duo, so I'm not sure if the issues are the same, but it does sound like the PRAM battery to me (performs the same basic function as a CMOS battery on a PC). On the Duo 280, it's two watch-type batteries (I believe they're actually welded together), surrounded in a sheath

Jacob writes, Well, I happen to be using a Megahertz PCMCIA fax modem card with an X-jack on my own PB 190. Since it's only 14.4k on occasion I wish it was 56k, but since 95-99% of what I'm using it for is picking up/sending email, it's adequate, and I like the X-jack a lot. Probably I wouldn
