I am dusting off my old Mid 2005 PowerMac mini with OS 9, Tiger, and Lion for the occasional nostalgia trip.

The PRAM battery is toast. Is this the same CR2032 that is in the later 10,2? Would like to make sure I have what's needed before cracking the case to replace the drive with an ATA SSD.

The system overall is in good shape. Already backed up the partitions. Forgot it is not GUID and that it cannot boot from USB!

But I found an old Firewire 400 drive with Tiger still on it!
