Title: Apollo 1230 Mk3 Battery + 68882 Questions
Post by: canis on March 12, 2004, 01:45:48 PM

I recently nabbed an Apollo 1230 Mk3 on eBay, but it didn't come with a clock battery nor a 68882 FPU. I have two hopefully easy questions:

1> What type/model #/etc of battery does it use? I've looked around on the usual hardware sites, but with no luck.

2> Can anyone suggest a good (ie, cheap) place to grab a 40MHz PLCC 68882? I don't need it right now, but if it's inexpensive enough, might as well grab one.


Here's the Big Book of Amiga Hardware's info for a refresher:

Apollo 1230 Mk-III Turbo (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/apollo1230mkiii.html)

(unfortunately I can't make out the #'s on the battery in the photo.)


Thanks for any assistance,
Geoff

Bumping one time.  :-D

My searching is still fruitless. Anyone with this or similar board? Thanks.

You want a 3.0 Volt Watch/Calculator/Motherboard Lithium Coin Cell Battery - CR2032

You can get packs of 5 on eBay for the price of one in a shop normally, so that may be a good idea (I am using them now in lots of things with no problems).

The same battery is used in...

PC Motherboards
HPC/Clamshell PDAs

and a few other things....

Thanks for the eBay tip too, just snagged a 5-pack for $3.75 including shipping.   :pint:
