Please answer via e-mail to him. Stefan Posch --------------------------------------------------------- HELP! My F***g clock is driving me crazy! I'm the now tortured owner of an A2000, 40M Miniscribe HD with alcomp autoboot controller , Kick1.3, Arp1.1 (or so). Yesterday I had to discover that the system time doesn't work correct. SYPMTOMS: After booting (and using SETCLOCK OPT LOAD) the time is correct (i.e. the buffered clock seems to be OK). But using DATE, CLOCK or anything I tried which gives the time, shows, the time runs 1min20secs, then jumps back the same time, and the same again and again and ... My system time is now nearly static after boot. First I thought of some other F***g virus, but I used a virgin WB-disk to boot and got the same results. HEAVY PAIN: I'm using MAKE a lot, and I don't want to use SETCLOCK every 2 minutes to make things go right. Any comments or even better help would be appreciated! (No matter what the reason is, I know I won't like it. But I HATE not to know what it is!)
