There has been a thread that implies that the battery-backed PRAM has two
"strengths"; that is, it takes longer for non-powered PRAM to "forget"
the board's manufacture date and hours-in-use than it does for it to "forget"
standard settings like color-depth and mouse-speed. Is this correct?

Friends -
So I nab a IIci at a yard sale that has not only the
NuBus video expansion card, but an ethernet card
and what looks like a full RAM setup and some kind
of cache card - someone's old mad-dog desktop I
suppose. Anyway, it was only $5.
I get it back to the shop and hit the start button

Tack soldering generally means, to lay a wire flat on a contact &
solder it down, rather than wrapping it around a pin or inserting it
into a cup before sold
