He actually steered me away from the CR2032 mod because he said the voltage would have put the machine into a "borderline logic" state. (I think that's what he said.) Here's how he explained it: The original NiCad battery was a 3.6V battery. The CR2032's are a 3V battery, so already it is arguable of whether or not the battery is supplying enough power to the circuit. But then he said the diode on the modded CR2032 battery clip actually drops the voltage another .4V to 2.6V, which makes it even more borderline on whether it can supply enough power to the clock circuit or not. He recommended instead to replace the battery with a like-for-like NiMH 3.6V battery.
Taking in to account, with respect to what Brett has said, I have done the CR2032 mod (did it before Brett's post appeared!). Put a brand new battery in. The voltage before the diode is 2.7V and after the diode it is 2.2V . Now I booted in to Workbench (booted off 2.04 disk), set the date and time and saved it. Turned off the Amiga, and unplugged from the mains. Left it for 10 mins or so, plugged in and booted back up. The time had gone back to 1991
