Lifespan of a PRAM Battery In a Mac Classic II — #2

If you are just storing the machine, remove the battery. Batteries in machines that are used a decent amount (are plugged into main power) should last 4+ years.

Kurzweil K150fs - anybody use a ][ for SMP? — #4

Yes, it's *that* Kurzweil. But he sold the company off almost as soon as it started. Dr. K made a big splash in the 1970s with his products for vision-impaired people. I think it w…
