I have a dead battery on my AT&T PC6300. This is very annoying for those of us who like to have the date stamp attached to files we are creating/editing. Does anyone out there have any experience with replacing these batteries? Any help would be most appreciated. Steve Kaish

The clock battery in the PC 6300 is a 3.6 volt nickel-cadmium type. Most are made by Yuasa. We had some dead 6300 clocks a while back, and found suitable replacments in the Newark Electronics book. They had both 50 mA hr and 100 mA hr capacity batteries that would fit the motherboard solder pads. I would imagine that Pioneer, Hamilton-Avnet, etc. should have similar batteries. I think they cost about six bucks each. The Unix PC, on the other hand uses a non-rechargable lithium coin cell. One should be able to find a suitable replacement cell and holder at mail order places such as Jameco, Digikey, JDR,... (see the classified ads in the back of your favorite PC magazine). The battery and holder should cost less than five bucks. Bill
