Well, my A501's clock module decided to go berzerk again! It was caused by a memory diagnostic program that went loose. I can't set my clock any more! setclock responds with: Battery clock not found. This is not the first time it happened to me. last time, I solved it by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. I don't want to repeat this. I checked some of the advises I got last time , and: 1) The 1.2 setclock DOES NOT WORK. not the 'save' neither the 'load'. 2) I got a program called 'chronos' ( by Dave Thomas ), that is supposed to cure the problem. it first writes 0xf1 to 0xdc0000+61, ( the comment says tha this sets the 'reset' bit ). it then writes 0xf4 to the same address ( 0xdc0000+ this program DOES NOT WORK! any help? a better explanation of the OKI 6264 chip's registers ( the clock chip send me EMail! This is not the first time my clock goes wild, and I'm afraid not the last one. I must find a way to reset it without disconnecting the battery!!! To Andy Finkel ( If you happen to read this) : Last time my clock crashed, you posted an article mentioning the missing 'reset' option in the 1.3 setclock. can you please post a simple routine to reset the clock???
