    I probably found a structural fault in the Olivetti M24 Computer
(AT&T6300 ??).
It seems the clock-chip (MM58174AN) on my computer refuses to accept 
1988 as the current year. After some inspection it appears that all 
years are mapped on 1984-1987.

First I thought my M24 had broke down, but I discovered the same
problem on another M24 as well.
Is there anyone else who has this problem? Is it an error in the M24 
or could it be the clock-chip?

                            Thanks in advance,
                                 Frank.
