[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Real-time Clock & DOS Clock

I've been having this problem for a while. My Suntac 286 motherboard, running
PC-DOS 3.3, sometimes set the date back to Jan 4, 1980. I didn't pay much
attention to it. But today, I borrowed my friend's copy of CheckIt to check
out my machine. So, I checked the Real-time Clock. CheckIt says the Real-
time clock is different than the DOS clock. The Real-time Clock has the right
reading and the DOS clock has Jan 4, 1980. What is the different between the
Real-Time Clock and the DOS clock? Is it because I am using PC-DOS instead of
MS-DOS? Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
