[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Wyse pc286 Clock/Calendar Bug...and Fix

mandel@well.UUCP (Tom Mandel) (01/12/88)

Users of Wyse's pc286 AT clone may have noticed that a curious
little bug crept into the calendar after the New Year.  To wit,
the calendar always thinks it's tomorrow, rather than today.
And using the provided SETUP program to reset the calendar
fails to change the date correctly.

I hear that Wyse is providing a fix, but here's a quick and
dirty solution that seems to work just fine:  Run the SETUP
program to change the date.  Instead of typing in today's
date, type in *yesterday's* date.  Exit the SETUP program
and reboot.  The new date will be correct.

Heaven only know what will happen on February 29th, though...  %-)
