Yeah, on the note of that battery, it looks fine, but is going to be replaced asap. Ive had a couple of apple computers turn to trash over that battery going bad in there.
I know it is not really practical to turn it into a dos machine, but it would be a nice setup to me. If i can find a 286 and a vga card I am all set then. That is not to say that i would use it strictly as a DOS machine, but it would be a useful feature to run a couple games or utilitys i use frequently that run on dos. Thanks for the advice, ill post back with some pictures once i get it all cleaned up and running. On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 11:16 AM, Mark J.
