Alright, I opened the sucker up.
First of all, it's a type 2722, w/ a 14" display. Sorry for omitting
that information before.
The CMOS battery is indeed there, wrapped in black rubber (or
rubber-like plastic), under the keyboard, next to the keyboard
and touchpad connectors. I suppose I'll see about replacing it, it ain't
a standard one.
While I haven't removed them, I also got a closer look at the PCMCIA/ATA
slots. They are indeed as I described, though they *appear* to be
connected to the same bus. It's small work so I might be wrong, though.
I've decided to just nuke the hdd contents (minus the system partition,
for now). Installing OpenBSD is more important =)
