Hello


Most times the clock is frozen due to the setting of the hold bit in the
control register. To reset that bit you should simply type

SETCLOCK RESET

in the shell.
The only problem is, that only setclock from WB 1.3 Rev 34.28 will work
correct. All prior versions test for the existence of the clock chip
by waiting about one second to see if the contents of the seconds register
have changed before restteing the hold bit. Because the clock chip is
locked there is no change in the seconds register and the chip is not
restted.

WB 1.3 Rev 34.28 is sometimes called WB 1.3.2


Sincerely	UWE
