The Dallas chips are expensive. I had the low-bat-in-Dallas-chip problem
with SPARCstaions. So I opened the top of the chip with a smal milling
tool (a smal saw works also, hi Michael ;-)  ), disconnected the old
battery and connected a new one. Works well with about 1/10 of the
costs for a new chip. :-)
