I wrote a note last week about a problem with the floppy drive on a minisport.
Thanks for all the help I got. It looks like, while the drive is a 1.44m the
machine only supports 720k. No big problem there.

But now I have a bigger problem.  All of a sudden the screen won't light up.
When I turn it on, the power and NUMLOCK lights come on and it sounds like it is
booting but the screen never lights up.  Before it quit on me I had been getting
a message saying that the "backup batteries" were low.  I removed the two cr2430
batteries so i could replace them.  The machine still worked fine without them.
I had them out for a couple days and now the screen won't light up.  Is it
possible I have messed something up by having those batteries out for a couple
days.  I installed new ones but the screen still won't light up.  Any ideas?

Thanks again
