[net.micro.pc] Date Rollover Bug

Microsoft@sri-unix.UUCP (10/01/84)

There are actually two bugs, one of which was fixed in 2.1 (and by extention,
3.*) and one we can't fix.

o   We use, in the disk driver code, a 2-second logical door-lock.  Under 2.0
we were reading the time of day and ignoring the date rollover.

This was fixed in 2.1.

o   The IBM ROM only signals that a rollover occurred, not how many.  Thus,
if we do not interrogate the timer for > 24 hours, we will lose a day.

There is no fix for this.
