I was just wondering the lifetime on the batteries in IIgs's. I've got a ROM 03 with a battery that is still good after all these years. I have a ROM 01 that is NOT good.#1. Is there a way to tell when your motherboard was manufactured? #2. Is there a way to find out the age of any components?
Battery life varies at least partly by how much the IIgs is used. The battery powers the clock and a bit of RAM for the control panel sttings. When the IIgs is turned on the power supply powers those. #1 Just to the rear of the memory expansion slot on the IIgs motherboards you'll find the date stamped #2 If you mean the age of the chip, most chips have the date stamped on them too. Usually the year and week 8824 = 24th week of 1988 Wayne
