A friend of mine recently gave me a clock module tha fits under the keybaord
chip. He wasn't using it anymore, since his HD had a clock in it. It says
micro-time on the board, and it has 2 wires that come off the board and go to a
AA battery pack.
The problem:
He doesn't have the software or the manual anymore. I can't get the darn thing
to set to the proper time and date, and I can't get it to set my system clock
on boot-up. I have tried setting it with control panel, and I have dcclock
from the archives, but it doesn't seem to work. The wierd thing is that now my
time and date on power-up is different than it was before I put the clock
module in. (It's still worng, but it's different.) It also seems like dcclock
sometimes reads the time and date from the clock module, and sometimes it
doesn't. Example. I turn on the computer, midnight, and the clock says 4:00
pm. then I turn it off until the next morning at 9:00, and the clock says 1:00
am. (9 hours later). Other times, it doesn't seem to keep time like this.
(maybe I'm just missing it though.
What I really need is some way to set this clock. I think DCCLOCK will read
the thing and set the system clock for me, if I could just get the clock set.
The BEST thing would be to find someone who has the software to set this closk,
or the address of the company that made it, or the location of some software
that might have a chance of setting this clock.
Thanks!
