The Sun hardware FAQ has lots of information on replacing them with the Dallas equivalent, and has information (and pointers to other docs) about opening it up to get at the battery if you want to try using an external battery. That's the same EPROM used by Sparcstations as the boot ROM. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York
