world-famous for changing a Dallas battery would be Dr. Marty Goodman, of
CoCo fame. IIRC, he's a member of a mailing list gatewayed to the newsgroup
bit.listserv.coco, so if you send a message there, he should eventually get
it (along with everyone else on the gatewayed list, so pose it as a
CoCo-ish question... tho CoCoists (IMHO) aren't quite as rabid as some
other platform gurus...)

His mother died recently, so he is flitting back and forth between Pinhole
and Brooklyn trying to arrange care for his father, etc. Therefore, his
"punctuality" in such projects will be further compromised.
Don't you just love it when they solder in that chip?
