If it has a battery, it'd be on an add-on board, so check to make sure there aren't leakers, but otherwise no. Your more likely issue will be shorted tantalums. It's a 256K XT motherboard in there. > And, also, would this have a floppy controller on it that was capable > of reading and writing disks from systems like the TRS-80 with an SD > boot track? Almost certainly no, if it has the external floppy connector (37-pin D-SUB). There were third party controllers that will. Thanks, Jonathan
