71B MultiMod: MEMORY LOST when changing batteries?

Maybe a future firmware update could add a new POKE bit that tells the MultiMod to immediately deep sleep next time the computer is turned off? Would be a good option to have when you need to change batteries.

In any case, I took this as a good excuse to order one of Mark Hoskins' USB 82059D replacements.

I don't know the J2 function, but I gather removes power to the MultiMod board. Wiith the PIC powered down, if the 71 holds any of the PIC pins HI via the data pins etc, this may be a source of current draw.
