[TenTec] OMNI 5 GOES DEAD ON 40

The Xicor spec sheet for the  X2404P (U8 on the logic board) indicates "Data 
Retention" is 100 (one hunded) years and an "Endurance" of 100,000 writes 
per byte.

So, from a practical view, I'm thinking that our Omni V memory life is more 
a matter of usage (memory in/out cycles) than time.

The clock memory life seems to be a seperate issue (the replaceable lithium 
battery).
