Re: Replacement for No-Slot Clock

[buggie@callisto.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

About six weeks ago, there was a thread on this topic ---- rejuvenating
the NS Clock.   There _are_ two points on the green daughterboard on the
"chip" at which an external batter could be attached.  Check with DAVID
EPSON (New Zealand).  It looks like the external battery is feasible, but
a trace should be cut somewhere so that the exterenal battery is not
drained by the dead internal unit.....   [David --- please supply
details!]     Steve Buggie
