   I use these clock daughter boards in a number of my computers and have
always been very happy with them.  Their one shortcoming is that they do not
keep track of the year.  There are some extra registers, and there is a
common convention for storing the year in one of those registers.  Then one
just has to remember every January 1 to update the year value.

   I do not know what the status of Kenmore Computer Technologies is.  They
moved at one point, and we lost track of them for a while.  In any case,
Chris McEwen, sysop of Z-Node 32, is a source for these units.  He even
offers, I believe, a discounted price.  Contact him at

   On another note, Lindsay mentioned Uniform.  The company that makes it,
Micro Solutions, Inc., is definitely still in business.  Their Uniform for
the PC is my first choice for handling foreign formats on the PC (I have
MediaMaster also.  As far as I know, although no further development seems to
be underway with the CP/M products, they can still be purchased.  Contact
them at
