[comp.sys.att] ATT 6300 clock

wtm@neoucom.UUCP (02/28/87)

Is there anybody out there that has been able to successfully read
directly from the clock chip in the 6300?  So far it has resisted
my efforts at reverse-engineering what the BIOS does.  The reason
for this digression is that I'm getting ready to switch over to DOS
3.2, and I like the idea of not having to enter the date/time
manually each time I boot.  I'm thinking about changing over to a
96 TPI drive, and want DOS 3.2 for DRIVER.SYS.

Thanks in advance for any hints, etc.

I don't have any information about reading the clock, but I would be
interested in a summary of your efforts if you decide to go with the 
96 TPI drive. I'm considering doing the same thing. Anybody out there
done this? Was it worth the effort? Any and all comments/advice are/is
welcome.
