The clock on my Amiga seems to act kinda funny. When I boot it up about 3 in the afternoon, everything is fine. By the time 10 or so rolls around, the clock is off by a good 5 minutes. I can setclock load and it will fix it but this seems wierds that this problem shoul happen. What is wrong with my computer or is the Amiga just not that accurate?? Thanks Sean

This kind of clock problem seems to be quite common in amiga. I had quite serious problem some time ago with my clock. Everything worked fine when I booted my machine but after one minute and 21 seconds my clock reseted itself to its preset (which had been made by setclock opt load-command). After some investigation I found that the problem was with my I/O-chip (8520). It had been damaged earlier when I had connected modems etc. to my amiga with power on!! Broken I/O-chip also had funny effect on my printer. When I shut off my amiga printer started feeding paper line by line. I bought new 8520-chip and after that clock has worked just fine.
