Re: RA3 Cartridge Battery

ra3 is the cz101 cartridge. no clones afaik.
the idea about a mod involving a 3v lithium-if
needed- would be similar to what would be required to 
backup a dr550, which relies on batteries(or dumps its 
memory). but i'm surpised to hear about cz101s not holding 
their patches. been a while though. vz, here.
