Anybody have any ideas? > There's an ad in PC Magazine, July 88, page 390, for a company called: IBC (International Battery Corp.) 16735 Saticoy St., Suite 111 Van Nuys, CA 91406 Who claim to be the largest supplier of computer batteries for IBM AT's, PS/2's, and "all other computers." They'll sell you a replacement battery for $27.50 (single unit price) plus $3.00 s/h. Or overnight shipping for $14.00 more. They have toll-free order numbers: 800 654-3790 (US) 800 225-9359 (CA) I have never dealt with these people, but just saw the ad. -Bob Posert -- I'm: rposert@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU or {..csun|..ucbvax!ucsd!sdsu}!polyslo!rposert
