Thanks to all that replied...Rick Kelly, sunmanagers, Bob Smart,
Tony Walsh, William Yodlowsky, and Steve Camp...all replies agreed that
the battery is probably dead, so getting a new NVRAM/battery is around
$10-$20 (battery located below NVRAM).
Since this sparc2 was on it's way out, I probably won't upgrade or such,
will use it as palet to put stuff on ;)
