1) Sounds like a dead battery all right... but before throwing it out, try Apple's Battery Reset utility. It might not be completely dead, but only partially dead and revivable. BTI sells decent replacement batteries, but like all laptop LiIon batteries, they are expensive.
2) I suggest 320MB as a minimum. 64MB barely held what I needed to do, even under OS 9. I personally will be moving up to 512MB, but that can wait.
I am actually in the process of making my stock 333Mhz Lombard into a tweaked-out monster (I finished tweaking my 8600, so on to the Lombard)... so if you want advice or tips on any Lombard upgrades, I can probably answer, as I am looking at all my options and am about half-way done with the upgrades.

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?
Thanks,
Ely
