I didn't mention - they also have a *DALLAS* (sealed) SRAM module on them.

I have a Japanese i8086 (non-IBM-compatible) PC, a Panafacom [you can 
guess which companies made up that consortium] Duet-16, which took a 
Motorola 68000 in an expansion box [the one that could also hold 4 HDDs, 
as there were only 2 * 720KB 5.25" drives built-in to the 
double-metal-shielded system unit], and one could toggle a DIP-switch to 
boot either 8086 or 68000, or toggle another to start in the built-in 
hardware debugger, with included disassembler in hardware - and that 
had/still has a DALLAS clock component that looks very similar to the 
SRAM module, and although I bought that system in 1983 - in 1999 after 
not being switched up for 6 years or so, the RTC was about 4 seconds out!

Now that's reliability. I haven't checked it lately - it's out in the 
10' x 8' x 6'+ garden shed these days in 'storage', but I'll check it 
out again in the next year abd see if it's still running.

Mike
