Hiya Jim,
Yep, that was probably me telling you about needing a resistor plugged
into the battery plug on HP1000's
that have the battery backup option installed.
If you have the battery backup option, and no jumper, the machine will
act as if it has no memory installed
and you should get the 'all register lights' on failure mode.
I'll look up the specifics of the resistor again if thats what you need.
Can you describe the problems your seeing?

Ok, a tad cryptic. <G>
I've found the .pdf version of the HP 1000/M/E/F Engineering Docs, but
every copy I've been able to access is missing section 9 (still can't keep
track of the Roman Numerals they mark the sections with) which covers the
power supply.
There seems something a tad 'twinky' with mine, tho I seem to recall at
one point someone had directed me to a jumper/resistor that needed to be
installed at the 'Battery Input' connector on the rear to wake something
up, but of course now that I'm working on it I can't find anything...
Help???
