The Real-time clock on my PCAT does not tick once I turn the machine off.
On power-up, it contains the time at which I last powered down.  I thought
that it might be the battery, however, the configuration and time remain
stored in the non-volatile RAM.  Any suggestions for diagnostics/repair?

This problem is fairly recent; the beast was working fine for almost a year.

Thanks,  

Brian
