The early computers that come quickly to mind are the TRS-100, Lobo
Drives Max 80, NEC 8201A, 286 and later motherboards, and S-100
CompuWatch Clock/Calendar boards. Any others that should be added to
this list?
A lot of the elderly synthesizers I work on suffer from this. For some
reason, Polysixes seem to suffer from this particularly badly - maybe it
was that particular make of battery?
