I dont run a pram battery in my 475, I just use the double flip of the power switch method which bypasses that issue.

Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.

68k Mac's, onboard video, and LCD displays?

Warning! Exploding Maxell PRAM Batteries

To me it doesn't matter what brand of pram battery is used, i either remove the battery and never replace it, or buy a new battery. You run the risk of a leaking or exploding battery with every replacement. My first 475 met its fate by a exploding pram battery which was maxell brand, now my current 475 has no pram battery in it, but i do have to double flick the power switch to turn it on or it wont boot, its a trade off between having memory loss or the chance if a pram battery leak or explosion. I also removed the battery from my IIgs to keep it from seeing the same fate. The only -

Speaking about palm III, i picked up a palm III with dock and a palmpix camera attachment at goodwill for $2.99 USD. The palm works, i just need to get a USB to serial adapter to load up software to use the camera, but i expect it also works as well.
