Feh. Just take a Dremel to the casing of the old

Simple, yet effective. I've seen a website about doing exactly this.
Or you could just dunk it in MEK to dissolve the potting compound Dalsemi
used, then remove the plastic cover and replace the battery. Again, replace
the cover and tape it down.
IIRC, Dalsemi used a CR2032 battery in the 1287.
Later.

Anybody have a Compaq SLT/286 or a GRiDCase 3
that they want to get
rid of for cheap?
Nope... I'm using my Compaq SLT/286 to host my ancient ISA-based
device programmer. For those not following my ongoing issues
blow by blow, I just got it all working last night. Now all I
need is that replacement DS12887 to show up and I can button the
whole shebang up, nice and tidy.
