In principle, yes. But in practice, it’s very rare that a computer works properly only with a good PRAM battery. I’m using a PB 1400 with a PRAM battery that’s expired many years ago. I keep it on standby always to avoid the slow reboot and setting the date&time, but otherwise there’s no problem at all. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
