Then the cmos battery is probably in a Dallas DS1287 or similar chip. There are hacks to replace the battery itself with a CR2032 holder, but it requires drilling into the chip.
I bought a DS12887+ to replace it, and socketed it in case it would need replacement again in the future (in another 30 years? :)). But if you want to go this route look up what chip is compatible with the exact one you have.
No, the reason it doesn’t work is that IDE to USB adapters don’t support pre-LBA HDDs. These old disks are all CHS-addressed.
I wanted to take images of such disks. I ended up managing to boot an ancient version of Knoppix from a CD (just booting it was a nightmare) and then using dd_rescue to clone it to a file on a CF card connected vi a CF-to-IDE adapter.
Edit: oh, drive powers off when usb is connected? Might be that the adapter doesn’t offer enough power, but if you could get around this you would inevitably run into the problem I describe above.

I expected some resolution or motivation for everything that had occurred, instead we got “God did it”.
It’s just a pity on a great show to have such a bad ending.
I’ve used LyX with good results, it’s a GUI that abstracts away many of the complexities of latex.
Unless there are security updates to install, then everything will be mercilessly killed
What they say for horses is that if you’re going to walk behind one, stay just behind it. That way if it does decide to kick you, the legs won’t be able to build up momentum and will be mostly vertical before hitting you. Under no circumstance walk 1-2m behind it, you can die if it hits you in the head.
Apply at your own risk to cows.
It’s so homegrown it even has it’s own instruction set architecture.
Edit: it is based on MIPS, but apparently the differences compared to it are minor
It has its own instruction set architecture called LoongArch which in turn is based on MIPS, there is no relation to Intel’s x86

It will say “Dallas DS1287 REAL TIME” and be unusually thick for being a DIP chip.
I just remembered, there’s a third possibility for replacement if this is the problem - the nwx287, a hobbyist-made replacement chip that has a cr2032 holder.
