What is the best clock for Apple //c ? Which is the most flexible and cost efficient ? What clock cards do you use ? Are there any major differences ?

I use a CLOCKPRO from Apricorn. It is a chip that installs under the CPU chip under the keyboard. I cost about $55 US a year or so ago. It is very reliable and has only two major limitations. First, you have to patch ProDOS to make it work; the patch comes with it. Second, when you put the chip in, you CAN'T tighten the keyboard down all the way again because the keyboard bends and the key stick. I hope this helps. Harlan... Begin...End. ACS_BLOOM@UWRF.bitnet

There's another product called "No Slot Clock." It goes under a ROM/EPROM chip.
I used to use one in a //e. I've since upgraded to a IIgs.
BTW: There are differt versions of the No Slot Clock software; make sure that
you ask for the Apple ProDOS software when you order it.

I run a BBS under GBBS 'Pro' V1.3m... At the turn of the year my board started reading the clock as the following... 01/02/8: I am using a SMT no-slot. Anybody out there who runs gbbs and has had the same problem???

The strange date (01/02/8:) has nothing to do with the SMT clock. It has to do with the way that GBBS was written to use the clock (any clock). In GBBS the decade (80's) is hard coded, and it was not able to handle the change in decade. THere are several patches that will fix this (up to 1995 I think). If you cant find one send me some mail and I will mail a copy of it to you. Later Mark Litscher barak@lakesys.UUCP

In-Reply-To: message from llp@psuhcx.psu.edu (Laura L. Pauley) Laura... =IF= you are a REGISTERED owner of the copy of GBBS Pro you referred to in your message you can obtain a program update (version 2.0; which fixes the CLOCK as well as a few other problems and offers a few enhancements too) by calling the Support BBS (L&L Productions 303-420-3568) and downloading it. There is also a new and improved SMT driver included. Or, you can my BBS, the RainForest (305-434-4927) for further information. /steve +===========================================================================+ | UUCP: crash!pro-exchange!sschneider COMPU$ERVE : 75166,2544 | | ARPA: crash!pro-exchange!sschneider@nosc.mil GENIE : sschneider | | INET: sschneider@pro-exchange.cts.com APLINK.PE : <shrug> | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The RainForest @ 305-434-4927 / PO Box 841422, Pembroke Pines, Fl, 33084 | +===========================================================================+

I don't know about the GBBS, but try patching your version of ProDOS with the SmartWatch clock driver I posted to 'comp.binaries.apple2' last month. If its the SMT clock driver thats causing the problem, that should correct it. -- Matthew Lee Stier | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: sun!mstier or mcnc!rti!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
