Now that the warrenty on my ST has expired along with my external clock cartridge I am thinking of an internal clock. I have heard that it is possible to install a Dallas semiconductor Smart Watch but which type? Will it install in any 1040ST(F) and is it a simple operation. Where can I get the software to set the clock? Is the above worth the effort considering that ST/ime is available from ZUBAIR for $59.00 US? Thanks

Before you spend the time/energy/money on a clock, consider whether you're
going to upgrade to a hard disk drive. Most of the currently available
SCSI host adaptors have onboard clocks.

Their basic unit is built in a socket that you put under a ROM. This works, as is, on earlier ST 512's. When the power supply was added for the ST1024 it was placed over the row of ROM chips. Some third parties have made a little paddle board that allows the ROM socket to be remoted so that it is not under the P.S. This allows normal use of the Dallas component. Terrific Corp, St Marys MA, USA is one such supplier. Howard C. Johnson ATT Bell Labs att!lzsc!hcj hcj@lzsc.att.com

Does anyone know of such a beast? And the name/address/ph# of somewhere where I can get a few? Thanks! -- ::::::::::::::::: - Sanford L.

Calling any ST mail order house should get you one. I think they are around $40...its been a few years since I got mine... - Rob DeMillo | Internet: rjd@brown.cs.edu Brown University | BITnet: DEMILLO%BRNPSG.SPAN@STAR.STANFORD.EDU Planetary Science Group | Reality: 401-273-0804 (home) "I say you *are* the Messiah, Lord!
