[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Battery backed-up clock on AT

martin@minster.UUCP (03/07/87)

Can anyone tell me how to read (or write!) the time from the battery backed-up
clock fitted in the IBM PC/AT? I know that the chip is a Motorola MC146818P,
and believe that i/o locations 0x70 and 0x71 are involved, but havn't got
any further.

This information may be available in the hardware reference manual, but
unfortunately I don't have access to this yet. Any help (By E-mail please)
would be greatly appreciated. Source for programs which access/set the clock
would be wonderful!!
