Is there a way to get a battery-backed clock into the A1200 without buying an expensive expansion board?
A. Yes. There is a header on the A1200 motherboard specifically for adding one of these inexpensive clock boards, which usually cost less than $30 US. However, a RAM expansion board with a clock like the DKB 1202 is usually only about double that, and gives you the ability to add 32-bit expansion memory later, which will approximately double the operating speed of the A1200.
