I am having a problem replacing the pram battery on my Lombard. I have done it twice in the past on my Wallstreet with no problem. However, the Lombard is presenting a problem. The guides I find show that once the keyboard is flipped open the battery is visible for removal. But in my Lombard there is a metal plate completely covering the battery area that I cannot figure out how to remove. Has anyone else ever come across this?
Thanks, MK
Cancel my question. I won't even tell you all how stupid this was.

Ha... my mother managed to fry her Mac SE with nothing more than a modem cable, so I've seen stranger. :-)
The cable had a round DIN-8 plug on one end, and a standard DB-25 plug on the other end. She plugged the large end into the Mac's SCSI port (it fit), and the other end into an ImageWriter II (it also fit). I came over to see a flashing screen, beeping etc. Whoops.
(It wasn't actually fried -- it worked fine when we fixed the plugs -- but it took me a few minutes to see what she had done. I was impressed!)

Yes, someone I work with was asking me for some help with her stuff at home switching to a new system but using her old periphs. She was confusing the hell out of me, continually interchanging the terms scsi, serial, and usb. I finally figured out the when she said scsi she was referring to the parallel port on her printer.
