[Techtoolslist] DS1287 repair

[Ian Eure]

I've been working on another 9100FT, and like a lot of them, the RTC battery was depleted.  I searched around a bit and found a guide to hacking in a button battery holder.  Figured I had nothing to lose since it was dead already, so I gave it a try.  It's not going to win any awards, but it does work.  Seems like a decent alternative if you can't find NOS, don't want to spend what they cost, or want a permanent long-term solution.
