I've never seen such a system. I hope I never do! Who manufactured/distributed this P.O.S???????


Intel?
I think that the theory might be that in this way the battery will not
fall out accidentally, and it usually lasts long enough (5 years or so)
that the motherboard will be scrapped anyway.


There are enough embedded systems around
that just don't have a backup battery or a dedicated rtc at that.

One can have a range of oppinions on this ( or better not,
there are sufficiently persuasive reasons around to not have that
functionality ).
