[TenTec] OMNI 5 GOES DEAD ON 40

[Carl Moreschi]

It's not the main cpu chip or EPROM.  It would be called "battery backed 
up RAM".  I don't have schematics anymore so I can't be more specific on 
this.

In all fairness, back at the time this was being designed, that was the 
standard way to have RAM that always remembered.
