I found a Performa 6116cd in a box I expected to contain a Performa 6290cd. It is in new, unused condition. I fired it up and checked it out and it is all good. I put in a couple of 8 mg ramsticks and a 256k cache, and for good measure, I put in a pram battery I thought to be good but wanted to check. I put in the battery with the power cord disconnected and then plugged in the cord and powered up. Date 1956, so I set the time and then unplugged the power cord and waited ten minutes and the plugged it back in and fired her up. The date and time held, so I figured it is a good battery. I then decided I'd check another battery. I shut down, unplugged the power cord and swapped out batteries. I plugged the power back in and booted up, thinking I'd have to re-set the clock since the battery had been out at the same time the power cord was unplugged. But, on booting back up, the date had held. How can this be? Are there little people in there turning something really fast or what? -- All the best, R.A. Cantrell
