Got the unit in today, seems clean and intact except for a port cover in back? The battery is dead as expected. I installed the battery into an old Apple deep charger unit and it did nothing (funny the stuff you have laying around with no use for years on end). I popped the cover off and looked inside, there is a 40MB Apple HD installed and there is some sort of small RAM module installed on the motherboard. I suspect the unit has 2MB onboard and a 2MB upgrade for 4MB total RAM?

Since Apple power bricks seems to cost more then what I paid for this thing I ordered a Sony 7.5VDC 2A power brick off of ebay for $6 shipped and will try running the unit that way.
