MNT Reform 2 once more: RTC battery =================================== My machine had some strange issues - it didn't remembered time after being powered off. This is a bit strange for a notebook which have also main battery but it worked this way. So I have tried to replace the RTC battery. Fortunately it is relatively easily available (unlike the RTC battery in the PSION MC devices...). For my surprise it's a fairly small cell battery (the CR1220). I have a load of CR1620 and CR2016 batteries but I never used so small one. Fortunately it was easy to buy. So I have replaced the old one with the new one and now the time is kept (and the hwclock -w works, too!). I my opinion the problem was that the board with the RTC battery inserted was lying for too long (more than a year, I assume). OK, now I have to install the "par" utility to be able to format my phlogs on the MNT (I am using the SGI O2 just now).
