THX, yep, I figured that tank farm and coil are the ElectroCrud for conditioning/converting the battery's power input, I'll either not be using a removable battery at all or using a different form factor battery mounted 90 degrees counterclockwise from that connector. That depends only upon electrical compatibility of the replacement battery and the successful lopping off of about 1/2" to 3/4" of the, all but empty, PCB peninsula where the FDD connector is right smack dab in the way.

HDD was a good guess! :approve: Make that a CD-ROM drive poking out the left side and you'd be right on the money! [}] ]'>
