With the help of Jim S and Dave McGuire, I got my
Spacrbook working.
It does have an issue. It says the clock it not working and needs to
be set. I opened is up to clean any remaining KOH from leaky NiCads
and saw it had one of those MK48T02B chips in it.
I tried doing a search on google for anyone hacking these chips
to replace the battery but all I got were chip sales.
There is some on ebay but I don't know if the batteries will
be any good.
I suspect the battery has some life. It still boots with a hostname
and ethernet address but how much longer, who knows. Dwight
The part appears to be identical to the Dallas/Maxim DS1642.
DigiKey, Mouser, etc. show them in their catalogs. Not cheap, but
available.
