My AT clone has developed a very strange problem.  As of 2 weeks ago, the date
never gets set on boot-up.  It always comes up as 1/1/80.  This means that the
date on new files is set to this.

I've checked that the real-time clock is alright (by using the SETUP program).
I've also tried a program that gets the time from DOS (function 2ah; int 21h)
and that checks out okay too.  It's only when I type "date" at the command
prompt and the time/date stamp on files that are messed up.

Any ideas, suggestions, solutions,...

Thanks.
