Sparcbook3gx and Sparcbook 3000xt by Tadpole

This is two Tadpole's with 128mb of memory, one battery between them.

I have not pulled the battery from the unit to look at the connection.  I hope there is a chance the battery people on El Toro can rebuild the battery, and maybe find a connector to build a second one.

There is a single ended connector on the back, so it will be possible to run these w/o any disk caddys.  It will be more cool to have a disk carrier, and hopefully a scsi to CF converter that will mate up with whatever connector this thing took on a scsi disk.
