Here ya go, head to <a href="http://www.academ.com/info/macintosh/" rel="ugc">http://www.academ.com/info/macintosh/</a><br />
This will give ya help on what it looks like and a picture if it's an imac. If you have a b&amp;w g3, pull down the door and just look on the motherboard, you'll see it. They will look like the ones on this web site. These batteries are supposed to last 3-5 years, but it's possible you just got a bad one, or it's seated poorly.<br />

I have a Macintosh G3 running OS 8.5. &nbsp;Frequently, the computer clock resets to 1956. Each time I have to change the date in the Control Panels and it works fine for a few months and then out of the blue, it resets itself back to 1956. &nbsp;Its bizarre!<br />
<br />
Any ideas or suggestions?<br />

Computer clock resets to 1956 frequently.

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
