How does one tell if his battery pack is low in a 286 based system
(specifically I have an Epson Equity III+)? I have a feeling my
battery is getting low because I got a "Time not set" error message
when the machine booted this morning. When I ran SETUP, the time was
something like 45:17:00 but the date was ok. Could this be symptom of
some other problem? The machine is 2 years old (at least that when I
purchased it new, no telling how old the batteries are). Are there
other symptoms concerning low batteries??? If I need to replace them
I'd like to know as soon as possible to avoid an real problems.

Thanks,
