[comp.sys.att] Olivetti M24 / AT&T 6300 Real Time Clock

I'd appreciate some advice on the following from any
Olivetti M24 / AT&T 6300  experts :-

1. Olivetti (UK) tell me that the real-time clock is a MM58174, and is
accessible at port addresses 70 through 7F. When using DEBUG, all I can
read from 70-7E is FF, and 7F reads F0. This doesn't look much like a
MM58174 according to my data sheet.

Any descriptions, pointers, (or program source !) would be appreciated.

2. The reason I'm bothering with this is that I need to use MS-DOS 3.2
(for compatibility with other PCs around the site), and (according to
Olivetti UK) the M24 version isn't available. The clock update
is built-in to Olivetti versions of DOS (somewhere - I haven't found it
yet) - hence the problem.

Is 3.2 available for the M24 / 6300 yet ?

(Usual disclaimers & thanks).
