Is it true that the V-20 is CMOS?  I have one running in my Zenith Z-148, and
will have one in my soon to be acquired Kaypro PC-30, but I would love to be
able to put one in my fiancee's Z-171 laptop and not suffer acute degradation
of the battery life.  I know that the Kaypro 2000+ uses one, but I thought it
might be a special version.  I'd really appreciate one of the NEC 
representatives out there confirming this (yes I trust you Joel, I just want
to be sure :-)
