Hi.  About a week ago I asked about the 5832 and 58321 clock chips.
Thanks to Roger Hanscom, Greg Ebert, Paul Lenz, Bill Robison and Tilmann
Reh,  I now know everything about the two chips.  Funny coincidence: The
day after posting my question, I got the databook from Dallas
Semiconductor in the mail (when I ordered it I didn't even know they
make clock chips).  They have a neat chip (DS1287A), which contains a
real-time-clock, quartz, 50 bytes of non-volatilie RAM, lithium battery,
and the circuitry to keep everything happy.  It nicely kills two birds
with one chip, and I'll just try it out (as soon as it arrives in the
mail).

Again, thanks to all who responded to my question.

By the way ... if am not affiliated with Dallas.  I haven't even got
their chip yet, just ordered it.
