Stuck aligator clips on the wires, popped in 2 non-alkaline "AA" batteries and clipped them to the leads where I clipped off the old battery. Total cost was under $3 and it's been working like a charm for about a year and a half. The battery in the IIgs is a 3.6V lithium cell. My setup is a 3.0V dry cell. The IIgs doesn't complain. :) / \ / / ______________________________________________________ \\\' , / // ProLine: pro-grouch!lhaider \\\//, _/ //, INET: lhaider@pro-grouch.cts.com \_-//' / //<, /\\ UUCP: crash!pro-grouch!lhaider \ /// > \\\`__/_ ///\\\\ /,)-^>> _\` \\\ ////\\\\\ The opinions expressed here belong to (/ \\ //\\ // IIgs \\\ no entity(s), living or dead! // _//\\\\ ------------------------------------------------------ ((` ((
