 I'm Posting this for a friend:

 He's building a memory board, that will auto-config, and wants to
 throw a timer on board.

The problem is:

 He needs to add a clock/timer chip to the expansion bus but doesn't want
 it to make it auto-config.  Is there an address that the clock
 timer could reside at where we could read it a power up and set the
 time.   This would make the design of the memory board much simpler.

 It seems like overkill to have to auto-config a timer when you are
 only going to read it once on power up (and at reset).


  Any info/thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
