yes please.

Machine is now booting, but needs a new bios battery....

When I pick up the machine, I will bring the docking station home so you can 
have a look...

I have an Alphabook but don't have a docking station so I
installed VMS using a DS10.  I connected the Alphabook
drive using a 2.5"-to-3.5" SCSI adapter.

I'd love to find a docking station for mine.

I need to figure out a way to get new cells for my battery
packs.
