Well, as I said, in my experience, the NVRAMs that you can buy new from Mouser work good
enough. And the mod to the original battery isn't that hard to make.
In my experience with IPCs, the bigger problem is the power supplies. If the PS on the IPC
that you have now doesn't need to be re'capped now, it will need it soon. After
that will likely be the HDD that needs work. Almost all of my HDDs that originally shipped
with lunchbox systems up to the 424 meg (ST1480N) have died. The price for working 50-pin
SCSI HDDs are at a point that SD2SCSI parts make more sense (unless you want to exhibit
them as they originally ran).

A 4/40 is a SPARCstation IPC. It used a M48T02 NVRAM for the IDPROM.
Yes, one with the dreaded battery.
