=Try this:
=	1. set the date and time with the DATE command
=	2. clear the clock with "setclock RESET"
=	3. reset the clock with "setclock SAVE"
=	4. do a "setclock LOAD" to see if it works now

You need the setclock that came in the WB1.3.2 release for this to work.
If you don't have it, try physically removing the A501 from the computer
(after shutting off power, natch).  Then put it back in.  This worked
for me.
