I have recently installed a new 30MB drive into my fathers Leading Edge model D. When I installed his new version of MS-DOS 3.2 (not IBM PC-DOS) I found that his clock is no longer read automatically at boot up. Does anyone on the net have a program that will read the clock on the Leading Edge model D? Thanks in Advance.

This is a small utility that I wrote for my SPERRY PC Model 20 that uses BIOS calls (from the SPERRY reference manual) to extract the TOD clock value, this value is then passed to the DOS set time interrupt...simple. Just put CLOCK in your autoexec.bat file and a message will be printed confirming TOD/DOS time synchronization. The following uuencoded '.arc' file (uudecode first, then de-arc) contains two files... clock.asm clock.com I've included the source file because of the recent warnings on the net regarding viruses and trojan horses, I've become a little wary of blindly running any compiled utility on my machines. It's amazing how much frustration such a small utility can avoid :-).

Sorry Darel---You missed "Model D". That is a Korean job, not the Model M (for Mitsubishi). The code is different and I doubt very much your clock setting routines will work. Brian's father, on the other hand, must have installed an ms-dos version not specific to the Model D. He'd best get what he needs from Leading Edge, i.e. if they still support the Model D. They orphaned us poor Model M users. Forrest Gehrke

I think the person making the original request was looking for a program for the Leading Edge, Model D. As far as I know, Sperry did not sell a PC that is the same as the Model D. I believe you are thinking of the Model M (M is for Mitsubishi), which is the same as the Sperry, but with a different label. I have a Model M and had the same problem when I upgraded to DOS 3.2. I called the Leading Edge support line (1-800-343-6857) and they told me the name of the program I needed, which was available on their bulletin board (1-617-444-9264). The bulletin board had a clock reading program for the Model D also. By the way, as I recall the program I needed had a different name than the one given to me from the 800 number, so a little patience may be required. -- Don Simoneaux Phone: (214) 964-1859 3605 Interlaken Dr. Plano, TX 75075 USENET: ...ihnp4!killer!dons

The Model D, however, was built by Daewoo Industries in Korea, and in no way resembles the LE/Mitsubishi machine.
