Here are the two likely candidates:

(date code)
ST 99045
MK48T02B-15
TIMEKEEPER (tm) RAM
DO NOT DISPOSE IN FIRE

The ST part of the above is a logo. If I recognized it I'd have mentioned
the actual name of the manufacturer. (: The other possibility is this:

TOSHIBA Japan
TC541000P-15
VPP 12.5V (date code)

Unlikely. The machine is a pizzabox configuration, with the entirety of
the mainboard in plain view. There isn't even mounting hardware for an
internal drive. There's just _nothing_ in the box.

ok
