I understand about the Cmos ram but believe me, there is no connector for any battery pack. I read the Manual and looked for the connector and it looks like the board was not layed out with that option. I did not remove the daughter board to see if they had moved it somewhere else but I looked very carefully every where else and that connector number isn't even printed on the board! I'd be more worried except I noticed that SETUP is the same after a long power down... So somehow it IS being saved with out a battery to keep power on that Cmos ram chip? Weird. I am wondering if Commodore redesigned and re-layed out the board but didn't change the Manual...

Hmmmmmm... Well, yes there seems to have been a redesign in the AT board in that they replaced the external battery pack by something ("black brick"?) sitting directly on the board. You may gather from my phrasing that I never saw such a beast until now... -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

Newer AT Bridgeboards have a battery for the clock mounted on the AT daughterboard, instead of having a connector for a battery pack.
