I know this is late, but I went away for ten days and when I came back my
7500/100 wouldn't start. You know the thing; bong! rattle of drive, then
nothing. Classic PRAM battery death. Frankly, it had only lasted two years
and I was just a bit ticked off, but there it is...

The point is that the dealer Apple dealer who had sold me that machine
(Trams in Victoria- hugely friendly, good price, they do Compaq as well so
they will survive...) was very helpful and sold me a battery without
trouble. However... They needed to know that it was me and they asked me if
I'd bought the machine there. Maybe it was just for marketing information.
I forgot to ask if they would have sold the battery to a complete stranger
(heavens! The very thought...) I suspect they would.
