The header says it all !! But for those for whom this isn't enough
information -->

Three days ago I noticed some strange (stranger than normal that is)
behavior from the 'battery-backed clock' in my Supra'Drive' 30MB
harddisk drive (aside: are there any kinds of harddisks that aren't
drives ?). The time was not correct !! I would then set it and all
would be fine until the next time I turned it on. At that point it
would now be set to the time that I had SHUT-it-OFF the day/hours
before. And then last night (my time!) it was set to some completely
outlandish time in the 21st century. I'm assuming that the battery is
dead since the harddrive clock still works as long as the machine is
on. 

The question : Has anybody had to replace the battery in one of these
things lately & how hard is it to do ?? 

E-mail all replies !! If there is enough(ANY) interest in the outcome
of this little escapade I'll summarize and post.

ps. Anybody know if SUPRA watches this group ?? Or have a current
phone number for them ??
