Hello World,

Recently, my IBM AT is having a strange problem with its clock.
The problem is that the clock does not seem to run when the machine
is off, so that when I turn the machine on the next morning, the date
and time are set to that of the previous night. Doing the 'set-up'
routine with the diagnostics disk does not cure the symptom, and I
replaced the battery about two months ago. Not being a hardware
person, I'm stumped on what I can do to fix it. There was no mention
of clock in the 'Hardware & Maintanence Service' manual either.

If anyone have any idea, I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks to all who respond in advance.

John
(p.s. It's an IBM AT at 6MHz, with 80287, a mouse, ethernet card,
ega, and PCDOS 3.2, if it makes difference.)
