I own a Logikron Clock Card and it is one of the types that supposedly cannot
be opened for battery change.  This is not true.  Logikron had two types of 
cards which looked very similiar, the first models were sealed and could not
be gotten into, and the second model came out as a response to some griping.
The second type can be opened with a small standard screwdriver, the battery
is then easy to change.  This was a little shocking to find, because even
the manual that came with the product mentioned that the battteries could
not be changed, and the cartridge should be sent back to the factory in 4 or
5 years to be fixed.  I think that the manual was never updated to the 
new cartridge.

A friend of mine has the Navarrone "Time-Keeper" cartridge, it has a slot
on the outside of it to allow you to still put things in the cartridge slot
of your ST even though you have the clock cartridge in.  After the time
is read from the cartridge, it disconnects itself and runs the lines straight
out of the back of the cartridge to the next cartridge.  I spotted this one
in an ST magazine (Atari Explorer 2 mos ago I think) for $20 from a mail
order company.
