But that's precisely WHY the discussion went to PRAM batteries. The PRAM battery keeps the RAM fresh for that space of time while you're swapping batteries. The remainder of the discussion was more along the lines of whether something like you describe would be helpful in the event of a weak PRAM battery. So the bottom line is, if I understand it, just put the 2400 to sleep and swap the batteries. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel (fyzycyst@NOSPAM^mailaps.org) ===================================================================== If aviation had grown as slowly as space travel, the first paying customer would have flown in 1943 -- in the 1,657th expendable Wright Flyer. ===================================================================== ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
