@tubetime I'm still kinda weirded out that this is a 486. I keep thinking this is a SPARCstation 10 and typing out forth commands to redo the checksum in my mind. Because seriously a 486 shipped with an SGS/Thomson TimeKeeper? This is the most expensive 486 motherboard. @tubetime seems like the kind of thing you would find build instructions on hackaday for. Nice work @tubetime that unpopulated space on the motherboard with a circle that says «batt», what’s that for? @oven alternative way to assemble the board using an RTC chip that has no built in battery. the chip footprint is under the socket where you can't see it. the external battery socket goes on the footprint you noticed. |
the old battery is now disconnected.
