If the main battery was still in this shape it had to be the "Standby battery". Removing the topcover with LCD assembly revealed the first loose broken piece as you can see on this picture. :angry: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u284/Haleluja_nl/IBM%20Thinkpad%20300/20160321_2328211_zpssnsclpve. …

A new project from me since I got an oppertunity last week to get two old notebooks for a couple of beers. :lol: One of them is a Toshiba T3200 which still works flawless, I will intruduce that one later.

Interesting. Do you have a photo? What are the sustained transfer speeds over the network compared to PCI 10/100 and ISA 10/100 cards? I don't have them anymore, they came from a company bankruptcy where lots of old systems had to be erased and destroyed some years ago. Iirc they where from BOCA as …
