Don't those compact Performa machines use a square 4.5V alkaline battery?
And yes, I do believe that they require a battery to start.
It seems to have 128MB of RAM installed, along with a video I/O board (the
'VEE' bit, I suppose) and Ethernet board. The downside is that there's some
significant battery corrosion toward the bottom of the system board PCB.
You *need* the battery for the system to boot. It's probably a 1/2 AA 3.6V
lithium. Given the age and the corrosion, you probably need a new one.
