This is a *very* nice entry-level HP3000/MPE

motherboard, vs. the FRU TOD battery in the later 918. Not a reason to skip
if you are interested in this machine.
True, there's been some discussion of that over on HP3000-L.
IIRC, it's still possible to boot even if the battery is dead ...
boot to the ISL> prompt, run clkutil, set the date, then exit to ISL>,
then run 'START'.
