Just took a look yesterday at the 286 motherboard I have sitting in the closet waiting for me to build a system around it, and I saw the telltale green "mold" of acid buildup on its barrel CMOS battery. Not a lot, as yet, and I don't think it's damaged the motherboard. But I obviously need to replace it.
Does anyone know of a (preferably US based) online electronics supplier from whom I could possibly buy a replacement?
More importantly, what can I replace the barrel battery with?
