To Jim Guilford and anyone else with a similar problem with JTIME or any battery
backed up clock for the Amiga 1000.  You are not alone!  I had exactly the same 
problem using TIC from Byte-by-Byte.  I could save the system time and date to
TIC and I could load the time and date from TIC, but the time and date were 
always the same as when I saved it.  Sounds like an strange coincidence that to
different products have the same problem.  I wonder how close the two designs
are?  

My fix for the problem may not work for you.  I put TIC back in the box and said
"I'll wait for the A2000!" :-)

I'm sorry I have no real solution for the problem.  How about some input from
other TIC owners and JTIME builders?
