Sure thing. That seems to be more common in Performas; PowerMacs, Quadras,
and Mac IIs I've used just lose their settings when the battery dies.
Battery failure causes kind of odd and unpredictable results.

Dunno. I've never seen a 6200 battery. If it is the battery, it should have
a voltage written on it, and be easy to disconnect and reconnect.
