I have one in my 520ST. The computer broke (the drives do not work), but
the clock was OK for some time and it is probably.
It worked just like a MEGA clock and is recognized if you have TOS 1.0
or higher.

It has battery backup, sits under one of the ROMs and has two
connections to the processor chip (done by wires with clips on them).
It seems to be exactly the same clockchip as the MEGA has, so I don't 
know if it works in an Apple or IBM as well.
