Hi Bill, Don't know about the PRAM battery - however you can certainly run OS9 on a much more modern (relatively) machine.
If you actually need to boot into OS9, I think the G4 machines would be the last, if you are happy to run OS9 as Classic you could go to a G5 machine running (I think) up to OS10.4 (Tiger) and still run Classic. There is some discussion here: <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1615134> You should be able to pick something up pretty cheaply. HTH Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
