 GW> I have a Dallas DS12887 Real Time Clock listed in my RS catalogue. It
 GW> has an internal lithium cell, and some SRAM in a 24 pin package. So it
 GW> looks to be the right place. As to ability to use external power
 GW> source, you'll need to find data for your part (Dallas site?).

Yes, that web site that Jay Emrie gave me had the story on these
things, although not a lot of the finer details of what's inside
them.

 GW> There _may_ be a header to connect an external battery on the MB. If
 GW> there is it will be 4 pins long (but may only have the outside two
 GW> pins).

I checked VERY thoroughly for anything that looked like that, but
no luck.....

 GW> Good to have you back.

It's nice to be back. I was getting withdrawal symptoms
