I posted a follow up to your original, stating that I had a similiar problem with my Mega clock loosing time. >| What's the accuracy of the real-time clocks that come with Mega STs? I don't know, but when I opened up my Mega this weekend I found that there is an adjustment for the clock 'speed'. It is small potentiometer right near the clock chip. I turned it clockwise a 1/16 of a turn. I don't know yet what affect, if any, it had on it. >Even rebooting causes an additional loss of a couple of seconds. Woa, are you sure you don't have a time setting program in your auto folder, or a time setting desk accessory? If you do then that is most likly what is causing your problem (based on this re-boot comment). >Anything I can do to get more accuracy?
