Title: Reviving my SL-C760 in 2025
Post by: clofland on February 24, 2025, 07:00:38 pm
Is anyone still here? I have some questions:

I got my SL-C760 a LONG time ago, when they were still being sold new. I would like to "revive" it.

1. What OS do you suggest I try to put on it at this point? I see a few options over the years in the forums, but it isn't clear to me what would be the most stable to use now. I don't need anything fancy, mostly just something that will boot with a minimum of fuss and support my CF Ethernet adapter.

2. I don't have a battery anymore. Is there a way to deal with that? I can get into the sort of "recovery" login by holding D+B. Can an OS install deal with this too? If not, can batteries still be obtained?

Thanks for any ideas and/or discussion.
