I did the drilling and the soldering without taking the MB out or taking it of Smile

because I am lazy and here was space to do it.

Yep, reworking a DS1287 isn't too difficult....the basic idea has been around for years:

In some systems, a DS12887 will work, but those are also getting difficult to find.

Nice, one can attach ground to pin 12 though and only drill for pin 20.
What would happen if I removed the ROM s with DRDos (U43 and U49) would it work as normal with floppy and hdd ?
Anyway the ST-125A with a 40 pin connector RLL ?) that I have only start sometimes and were to find another one I do not know Sad

This old one comes from a Nokia machine 21meg. The one which came with the top model of N1200 were 40 meg.
MFMs I have few but that does not help.

I have a Pentium MMX system with one of those dead Dallas chips, I've been thinking about getting one of those modern replacements that use CR2032 cells but they are a bit expensive just for a battery. Maybe I'll give this a try instead.

Edit: I ended up just buying a modern chip from Glitchworks that uses the coin cells. Installed a socket and dropped it in, works perfectly.

Yes, that will work, but on this old one I think it is more functions inthe Dallas chip than just battery ?
