I am interested in building the battery backed up real time clock which is described on one of the Fish disks (#65 I believe). I would greatly appreciate any comments on it. Comments from people who have built it (does it work??) are especially welcome. Some of the specific questions I have are: (1) Does it work - are there any problems with it. (2) Are there any things which you would do differently the second time around. (3) The information I have includes a program JTIME which is used to set and read the clock. However, I do not have the source - can anyone send the source to me? (4) Where would you recommend getting the parts (this question actually only applies to the clock chip, the rest of the parts seem pretty common). One last thing - if anyone has a different homebrew clock I would be very interested in hearing about it. Many thanks in advance. Nick.
