Hello Everyone,

I am new to this ng, and hope someone can help.

I have an AT board, I recently started getting error messages about my CMOS
batt.  I looked high and low for it.  There was a black box on the MoBo
with RTC printed on top.  OK, no brainer, Real Time Clock.  Taking the cover
off it revealed the cmos chip, with an onboard battery.  Pinch welds to the
battery,
and soldered to two leads comming from the chip. I pulled the chip with
hopes of replacing
the chip or just the batt.  No such luck.  No one I have talked to has ever
seen that config.  Unfortunatly, the MoBo is generic, and I have no idea the
manufacurer.  I have been searching the web looking for poss. cross
referencing, or a site I can purchase this chip.
If anyone has seen this before, and knows where I can go to possibly find a
replacement.  You would be a life saver, and a hair saver -- as I am pulling
mine out by the hand full.

Thanx in advance,
