Both were a bit grumpy but started up. One's HD seems a bit screwy as it'll boot with happy mac then gives up.

They also came with lots of extras: I've got 3x batteries, an original PSU, all the manuals, and 2x Portable cases.

I'm going to rebuild one battery as lead-acid (this looks like it should fit inside the original battery shell http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/productprofile.asp?ProductGroupID=1365)and might try rebuilding the other with Nimh AAs, as I know people have managed to do so.

Also going to recap both logic boards, I'm hoping to also get a 34->50 pin scsi cable and get a Flash boot disk going.

After that I'll be selling one of them.
