Hey, a lot of you guys seem to have 540c's. Any idea where to get an
upgrade and some additional memory. Also need batteries.

I bought brand-new batteries, third-party PRAM batteries, 32 MB RAM upgrades
and PPC Upgrade Cards, all off of eBay.
I looked for completed auctions and then asked the seller if he had more in
stock. He usually did.
In this way, I bought:
Four main batteries,
Two PRAM batteries,
One 32 MB RAM upgrade, and
Two PPC Upgrade Cards.
Good prices are about as follows ...
Main batteries ... $60
PRAM batteries ... $12
32 MB RAM upgrades ... $65
PPC Upgrade Cards ... $99
The result of all this was one good machine and two non-working machines were
restored to full function ... and two were upgraded to the maximum possible
configuration at the in the process.
I left my 520c as a 12 MB machine (although the CPU is a 33/66 MHz from one
of the 540c's) and left it as a 68K so that the PCMCIA card cage could still
be used (it is a Rev. B and a Rev. C is required for use with the PPC Upgrade
Card).
The two others are now 40 MB PPC upgraded 540c's.
All have modems and the modem software was upgraded to 2.5.5.
All were tested with either Ethernet printers or DSL modems.
