I removed the original Varta NiCad batteries from both my A4000 and A500 Plus quite some time ago because they started to fur up a bit, and have been running both without a battery backed up clock ever since.
However I would like to replace the batteries in both systems with a coin battery holder. I know I need to use a diode with this but can anyone tell me what diode I need to use and if anyone has any they could send me?
A little diagram or pic would also be great as I have next to no electronics experience other than making up cables and soldering wires onto connectors.
I just successfully made an ST to Scart cable last week and that works perfectly. I found it quite fiddly soldering the 11 wires onto the ST connector but got there in the end. Great to finally be running an STE through scart to see what its "real" image looks like rather than via RT lead. Next cable to make is an ST to Amiga monitor one.
