Effective March 1, 1990, the NCR 4940 Terminal's Desk Accessory Clock displays the incorrect day (Sunday, Monday, etc.) for the selected date. For example, Saturday is displayed as the day for March 2, 1990 instead of Friday. These terminals are manufactured by ADDS for NCR. I contacted the ADDS Display Technical Support Unit (1-800 231-5445), and they are aware of the problem. The only current work around suggested is to turn off the DATE display in the Desk Accessory Clock. The problem apprently is terminal PROM logic that incorrectly considers calendar year 1990 to be a leap year. I am posting this as an informational item. I will be checking back with ADDS Display Technical Support periodically to see if a fix is available. If anyone else has or learns of a fix, please post to comp.sys.ncr or email.
