In the queue somewhere! They'll likely go to replace the modules I'd stolen from other machines over the years, as I get around to fixing them. Also, to anyone buying NVRAMs on eBay, don't expect anything from China to actually be new NVRAMs. I've bought a bunch to disassemble, in the course of making repair boards for a number of different NVRAMs/RTCs, and every single one has been a relabel. All had low battery voltages, on the few where I actually totally destroyed the encapsulation to examine the innards, the batteries often carried dates 10+ years old, even though the outside markings suggested it was a year or two old. Not that fakes/remarks from China should be a surprise.
