Re: Setting the clock
Sorry if this thread's getting a little long, but for the price of the
chip and ease of fitting I wouldn't suggest it's worth the effort.
Then again, if you're the sort of person who's trying to set up Linux on
a Sparc...

I dunno if that FAQ talks about this but its also a fixable chip if the
battery is gone.
The batter is enclosed in a little plastic case that covers the
batter+chip
which are soldered together. I have a co-worker who fixed a SUN I gave
hium by cutting open that plastic case and soldering a new battery to
it.
