I have two identical rigs each one comprising Aurora + Super Gold Card +
QuBide all mounted in a Pandora Case with other components - Hard Disk,
PSU, Floppy Drive etc. - Until recently, each rig would self start -
with no need to select F1 or F2 and each maintained perfect time and date.
However, over the past few days I have noticed that although once they
are up and running they still keep perfect time, once switched off, one
of them comes back with a random time and date at switch on and the same
machine needs F1 or 2 selecting at power up.
The other machine is still working correctly.
I understand that there is a battery on the SGC (although I have never
identified it) and I wondered if this behaviour is typical of a battery
needing replacing or perhaps something quite else. If it is the battery
which is at fault, where do I go or a replacement, about how much do
they cost and what do I ask for?
Are they easy to replace or are special tools required?
Can someone please help?
Thanks.
Regards to all.
John Gilpin.
