Thanks, Mike, your post prompts me to ask this question...

I will soon have my 600 apart for a CPU upgrade (from 233 -> 366). While I'm
at it I'm thinking I might as well replace the CMOS battery (the system is
three years old). Can anyone tell me what # it is so I can purchase it in
advance? Is it an aftermarket or IBM-only item?

Also, how long do CMOS batteries typically last?

Thanks, kj
