Sorry to open up an old thread, but I recently picked up a working Packard Bell 486SX/25 and I need to replace the barrel battery. Can anyone recommend what I should replace it with? How do I know if I have an external battery header? http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8921/dscf6705.jpg http:// …

Yep! Came with a 40MB drive originally. I was hoping for that but with everything else in such good shape, I can't be too disappointed to find an upgraded drive in there.

Another interesting arrival today! This is the REVEAL Sound FX 32 Wave (SC600) - basically an Ensoniq SoundScape S-2000 Clone with the same 2MB ROM, but it has an additional chip for tone control. The MIDI should sound great! More info: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=21111 http://img853. …
