Dear Vintage Mac folks,
I apologize, but I hoped someone had a battery compulsion and had learned all things great and small when the PRAM in the Mac Av 4.6 or so died. I was going to ride their information. But, what is interesting is that one suggestion on the web, and I saw this twice in different places, was that if the pram in a Pismo goes bad, take out the large battery and keep the Pismo plugged in for 12 to 24 hours. IT worked. The Pram I guess gets too low and the circuits that control those things won't let a charge go to it if the main battery is in. Now, I am in search of a Lombard powerbook because I read that if your primary (large battery) is dead and won't recharge in a Pismo, then you can put that battery into a Lombard and re-set it and then recharge it. NO one knows why Apple had the battery resettable, the same battery, in a Lombard but not in a Pismo. So, the generalization to this list for me, owning several working old Mac Quadra 660AVs, is what odd ball unexpected things have people found on those or similar machines that save you big bucks? By using that one suggestion on the PRAM Pismo battery, I save 28-32 dollars and about 5 days of time. Thank you all for your suggestions. Dwight St. Augustine, Florida P.S. Is anyone using a Mac Quadra 660 AV as a server or front end for a more recently built machine? Please let me know how you do it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
