I had a Mountain Computer Real Time Clock, called "The Clock".  It was
the first of all Real Time Clocks for the Apple, and it was the pseudo
"standard" of clocks for the Apple.  But I sold it because it was a
large board that had a lot of chips that, when using the batteries
(mounted on the back of the board), the power would only last for FOUR
days.  In reality, the battery power was only adequate for two days,
though, because after the first two days the power was so low the clock
was no longer even reasonabily accurate.

The latest clock now-a-days that has some nice features and supposedly
has become the "standard" has several different output modes, is the
ThunderWare Clock (also has a time output format that is the same as
"The Clock").  It also is supposed to be the biggest seller of clocks,
thus also kind of making it the new "standard".

You might want to look into that.
