[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Clock gone/Serial Port

phupp@warwick.ac.uk (S Millington) (01/24/91)

        I  know this has been asked before, but it's just happened to me. The
battery  backed-up clock not found.
My setup is A500,KS1.3,1M-CHIP,0.5M-SLOW - using SPIRIT FatTrapper. Please
help, I'm selling this to a friend to pay for my new 2000!

        About the difference between th A500 and A2000. When my modem was
plugged into the 500 turning the modem on/off while the amiga was on caused
the keyboard to lock up and the caps lock light to continuously flash. The
2000 doesn't care whether the modem is switched on/off while it is on - it
still works nomally. Is there some design difference between the 500 and
the 2000 serial ports?
        Thanks in advance. E-mail please, for the clock, I will summarise
if requested.
