The Spirit Clock that I have in My amiga *DOES* keep wonderful time, compared
to my quartz watch.  It has been in  for 2 months now, and hasn't lost a
second compared to my watch, which I check regularly to the Phone Company.

Apparently Leo got a bum one.  Sorry to here it.  I have not put my RF shield
back on my Amiga, and don't seem to have a problem.  I guess that is One
problem with the clock board.

Seriously, I would STILL recommend the board.
BTW, You DID get the spelling right (Thank You)
