Hello all, This is my first query to this group, though I've been on the powercomputing list for a while. Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer.
Just got a G3 Lombard via ebay (no manual), & plugged it in to check it out and discovered that the battery indicator next to the clock has an red X through it and on the control panel strip, when I click on the battery icon, the options are grayed out. I unplugged it to see if the battery indicator would appear and the unit turned off and reset to 1904 Q 1. Does this mean no battery or dead battery? Q2. How much memory do you suggest and and where to get it? The Lombard currently has 64 K ram running on OS 8.6. I expect to move to Jaguar and I run Word, Excel, Filemaker, Palm, Outlook Express and Explorer simultaneously. Eventually I guess I'll need to max out the RAM (512?) but for now I would prefer to try to "get by" with one 256 chip due to cost. Do I understand correctly that for 512 I'll need both a low and high profile chip if I add both? As the high profile is less expensive is there any reason I should not get that now and the low profile later? I could stretch and get both now if there was a good reason to but would prefer not to have to. Any advice on the battery icon, where to get memory and how much I'll need?
