[bit.listserv.i-amiga] Clock Card Problems

KILLIAN@UNCG.BITNET (The Mad Doctor) (01/19/90)

I can't stand it...I have an A500 with the A501 expansion card, and the battery
backed-up clock is doing weird things.

It survives the three-fingered salute fine, but when I cut it off and back on,
it either sets to some weird date, like 10-May-10 or 30-Jun-30, or something
really weird like 14-Aug-78, and sometimes says "Battery Backed-up Clock not
found!"

I brought my Amiga in for servicing...it worked fine for the servicemen (of
course!)  Anyway, we tried replacing the battery and several other things, none
of which worked once I got Amy home.  I got a program which looks for a
clock-card virus, and it says it can't find the clock!  Does anyone have any
idea what's going on and any way of stopping it?

   Get a copy of ClockDoc(tor), My clock was sped up, and this set it
back to the correct settings.

14-Aug-78 is the default date.  I've gotten it many times.

Other than that, I don't know what to say...

Assuming ClockDoc is PD/GuiltWare, is it available on any servers?
