I have the No-Slot Clock in three of my computers (IIe/IIc), and it works
well.  About once a week though the time goes awty and I have to reset it with
the software.  Also, I dont like the idea that it is a disposable item.  When
the on-board battery goes flat you have to throw it away!

Still the advantage that no slot is needed is a great advantage when all slots
are filled!

It is easility installed under a 28 pin ROM chip.  But if I ever have to move one,
one, I will get a 28-pin socket and fit it into that socket,which will be placed
on the board.  This was the pins will not need to be disturbed when moving it.
Same thing is planned for the ZIP chip: to mount it in a movable 40 pin socket.
