Yeah, on the note of that battery, it looks fine, but is going to be
replaced asap. Ive had a couple of apple computers turn to trash over that
battery going bad in there.
I know it is not really practical to turn it into a dos machine, but it
would be a nice setup to me. If i can find a 286 and a vga card I am all
set then.
That is not to say that i would use it strictly as a DOS machine, but it
would be a useful feature to run a couple games or utilitys i use
frequently that run on dos.
Thanks for the advice, ill post back with some pictures once i get it all
cleaned up and running.

All you Amiga heads watch out for those motherboard batteries!
Especially on the
A3000! A3000s are probably going to be very rare due to
all the destroyed motherboards (Someone should reproduce one with sockets
for the original chips.)
Quite true! My A3000's motherboard was damaged by battery leakage, but
luckily was repairable. I replaced the original battery with a remote
battery holder to get the new battery away from the motherboard:
