I have a Compaq Portable III, and unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to get the special battery that powers the real-time clock.
I figured that using Glitchworks' RTC replacement was easy enough, until I started having problems with it keeping time and settings, or even just starting up in-general.
I learned that any battery hooked up to the Compaq RTC needs to have a resistor and/or diode to regulate something. I don't know of any other computer that does that. Would it be possible to make a version that has these components already attached?
