I tried the BIOS but it is unbelievably primitive and there is no option to set the date. What I did was set the date in the OS and then did hwclock --systohc which should have transmitted the date to the clock but didn't. So I am thinking that maybe the original problem was not that the battery was dud but that it was not being charged up. What I have in mind is that the laptop will be running a control application more or less all the time so if I set the date when I fire up the OS I don't need a battery at all. It's going well so far; I am finding out about tinycc...
