[Thinkpad] 380XD BIOS Upgrade Without Battery

    Can a 380XD BIOS be upgraded without a battery? I seem to recall some
messages in the past on how to do this, but I can't find them now. Any help
would be appreciated.

    Also, if anyone has a working battery for sale cheap please contact me.
It doesn't have to work long, just enough to start the BIOS upgrade. It
must be FRU 02K6509 from a Pentium II 266 model. The one from a 233 model,
although it looks the same, won't fit: the connector is keyed differently.
