Re: Changing PRAM battery

[Matt W]

That hidden info is not important. You know how to set the date, time, 
startup disk, and general control panel settings... right? That's the 
only important stuff. If it's never been cleared, it shouldn't hurt to 
do so now, and it's probably due.

Don't worry. Change the battery. :)

I've got an old IIci with a PRAM battery on its last legs.  I have a 
new
battery to put in, but to get to the battery you need to remove the
power supply.  The important thing is, this machine still has all the
original "hidden" PRAM information intact.  How can I put the new
battery in without losing this info?
