Just wondering how the CMOS battery has evolved over the years. What computer first used a CMOS battery connected to a motherboard? What types of CMOS battery have been "industry standard" during what time periods? What's the standard CMOS battery today, and where is it headed?
For example, and please forgive my ignorance, did a TRS-80 and an Apple ][ employ CMOS batteries?
I'm only familiar with the barrel-type soldered-onto-the-MB battery, the B-220, and the CR2032. Before and after those examples, I have no idea.
Thanks for any insights.
Cheers! cc
