Any return on how long these machines keep time with a coin cell? I though I left one in a Performa here but it seems not.

In my experience, only a few months, unfortunately.

That'd be expected, the capacity is 1/10th of the original, with much lower voltage. Still not bad. I remember some CR2032s not lasting longer in PCs anyway.
