hummm ... i wonder if i found a way to replace the soldered in battery with a night owl or other holder if the IIgs would charge some of these batteries. Humm .... rainy day project. uuh ohh looks like the IIgs on my desk set too long, gonna half to check hard drives, getting check start up device error. and i have a lot of Apple IIx stuff archived on the hfs drive. hopefully its just the prodos drive. anothyer rainy day project. (I come home to play lumberjack, since my wife insists on wood heat, and mow 3 acres).
did the later models recharge the battery? or did they mean you had to recharge all of them out of the computer?
