- Jeremy, I don't think it makes any difference if the B27 is connected to
- the brick or not. One B27 had been disconnected and boxed for some, and
- I hooked it up and it still had the correct time and date. The ones that
- come up with random time and dates do so even though they remained
- connected to a brick (the little red LEDs stay on).
