My question concerns keeping accurate time on a 286/AT running SCO-Xenix. I have a system that loses about 2 seconds per hour. We have tried installing a NiCad battery pack and replacing the mother board. I had thought replacing the mother board would have fixed it since it seems like a crystal problem. Am I just unlucky and have gotten two bad crystals in a row or what? :-( Some people I have talked to have gone into long explanations about how certain interrupts that happen on a multi-user system cause the system to lose time but I can hardly believe that could be the case. If anybody has any input on this problem I would appreciate some E-mail. I hope this isn't too much of a hardware problem for this newsgroup. I wasn't sure where else to put it.
