Re: Replacing the ROM 01 IIgs battery

["Henry" <apl2research@comcast.net>]

Hey guys.

Actually one of the new items going in the Store soon is a "kit" to replace 
the old axial batteries in the ROM0/1's with a 3xAA battery caddy.  No 
soldering needed.  Just cut and clip!  We'll also be adding the 1/2AA 
batteries for sale too.

Another few weeks they should be available.  The programmer needs to finish 
with modifying the Store first.
