In the past few days my Amiga's (B2000, A2620, A2090A, 1M Agnus, ASDG 2MI)
system clock has been gaining lots of time, between 2 and 5 minutes per
hour. The battery backed clock is running perfectly, but the system's time
of day is in overdrive.

I've seen this problem mentioned before, but I don't recall the fix. Is it
possibly an 8520 problem? If I swap 8520's, where can I expect the problem
to move to?

Oh, and it's not likely to be a virus since I'm running VirusX 3.20.


FLASH! I swapped 8520's earlier today and the problem seems to be gone. I
haven't seen any other problems yet, but I've got the feeling I'm tempting
fate. Where's a cheap source of 8520's?
