My A500 clock (internal) is jumpping backwards every couple of minutes. The battery backed up clock keeps time just fine. But once the time has been loaded from there, the A500 can't seem to keep track. Symptom: 1. Every minute to two, the clock jumps backwards by 15 to 50 seconds or more. 2. When I recycle power the clock comes up OK, but quickly starts with symptom #1. Even after being off for a while. System: A500, Xetec SCSI hard drive & ram expansion. Otherwise plain. Please reply to me. It doesn't make my system inoperable, but I'm very concerned. Virusx 4.0 says no virii present, but who knows! Thanks much (in advance) Brian. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Gragg briang@sdd.hp.com hp-sdd!briang uunet!ucsd!hp-sdd!briang -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
